Mark & Lard: Lard's Fall Diaries

He rarely mentioned it, but Marc "Boy Lard" Riley used to be in iconic Manc band, The Fall.
Here, Lard reads extracts from his youthful diaries, written during those crazy days with Mark E. Smith....
From Radcliffe's Graveyard Shift show, 1995

As Andy Warhol once said "One day, everyone will have had 15 minutes in The Fall".

loved mark and lard ...got me through the night shift with a smile

[@merlin5476]

Bring back Marc & Lard.

[@zetetick395]

I'm glad Lard had his 'Falling out' - it gave us all the glorious Steve Hanley on bass! \o/

[@mookie2637]

There's no point telling people that you used to be in the Fall. As is well known, everyone has been in the Fall. I was the bass player for ten minutes in 2003.

[@gilwood7530]

Mark yelled at me and me mate then we all had a good drunken laugh ...Does that count as being in THE FALL ???

[@GriefTourist]

Great channel, I loved the 90s evening show, I have about four compilations of it, I tried to record every show.

[@GlitteringDelights]

Cheers mate....would love to hear them

[@mrichards2788]

Please share if you still have them, bbc have probably erased them. Many thanks.
Mark

[@martinpercival63]

I bet Smiffy was delighted with this ;-)

[@279atcardiff]

I only mentioned it twice last night....😀

[@heskeylator]

Only heard of 'the fall' through Mark and Lard. Says it all on who won in the end. Afternoons on Radio 1 and a Sony Gold.

[@thenortherndrones]

best radio prog ever still fckin hilarious in 2010

[@highdownmartin]

Watched fall doc t' other night. All makes sense now

[@leecarlson728]

I was in the Fall as well I was the vocalist/lyricist for 3 years from 1997 to 2000.

[@kevfullo]

half the people in this thread were in the Fall to be fair

[@ListenToBigFace]

'I must do better'

[@malcolmcog]

I was in The Fall in a dream I had, MES made me clean his shoes with Brasso so he could send reflections from the planet Zorg back to the evil overlord that rules pop music on our planet, which is called Earth.

Half Man Half Biscuit have some advice on weird dreams:
Your weird dreams
don’t impress in any way
In dreams
, weird things are mundane and everyday
Strange to me would be
...
Buying a loaf
and coming straight home

[@odyjamess]

[@beecee2205]

rarely mentioned it

[@revol148]

sorely missed radio show - the night-time show obviously not their risible afternoon slot of course !!

[@shamrockshoredublin179]

And I dont blame him comical

[@MagikGimp]

Are you allowed to be in a band with that hair?

[@nath909]

No, you shouldn't be. Maybe MES took pity but, i doubt it.

[@fallfans]
