THE brilliant Scottish singer-songwriter Rab Noakes was among the first members of Stealer’s Wheel — but left before the band recorded the likes of Stuck In The Middle With You and Everything Will Turn Out Fine.
His recent solo work has pulled off the rare combination of musical skill and unabashed politics — Water Is My Friend, a chronicle of his cancer treatment and a rally against the injustice of Tory NHS policies, being one song that springs to mind.
He is a socialist and a supporter of the Morning Star. Last year he gave a moving musical tribute to the paper’s late arts critic Chris Bartter at a cabaret event in his memory.
