Aye, it looks lush... shame about the missing double spacing though.

Is it an unlimited TLRT update? 🤞

History repeats. The best cover bands get the attention of the originals. Hamsters > Feelgoods, These guys > Chicago. Bit of a long video, but you get the idea in the first minutes:

Half forgotten UK pub rock bands from 20 years ago is like any other natural hierarchy: 99% of the wealth goes to the 1% at the top of the pyramid. The vast majority of bands are scratching around the lower levels. Many are looking for a leg up to the next level. Some are naturally just better than others, some try much harder than others, some both / some neither...

Awww, come on! 😛

I saw them years ago, in the bar at Newport Centre. Super-tight band. 👍

You might do well with a sad looking dog lying by the collection tin. 👌

Aye, well, it lets the punters see that the organisers aren't paying the band. 👍

If you're not being paid, then its busking. And should be OK with the organisers to have collection buckets for the band.

Billy Blough, if he's not been mentioned earlier? Thread / TL;DR. 😛

"ain't no writ without no hit" Not sure who said it first, could have been anybody...

I love the bass on this:

Bad back? Oh yes, definitely. I saw a video of him playing on one of them orthopaedic 'kneeling stools', years ago.

Welcome! 🙂

Were they still fixated on Nijinsky in '98?

We had a brickie round to block in an old doorway and brick it up on the outside. As he was finishing up at the end of the day, the whole family came out and gave him a standing ovation... and by way of an encore, he fine tuned a few bits of pointing. That's made up obviously, except the first part. He's a good guy though. Lives up the road from me. Ex Royal Marines Commando.

That's a Chopper Mk2. The Mk1 is more cool.

Yep, Carol is cool.

Getting sillier!

That horse is actually called Keith Richards. 😗

You think that's bad, have you seen Keef Richards lately??

Rather 'handy with his fists', so I've heard, back in the day Sir... Would #3 be the late Mick Karn Sir?

Yes, all done Sir... is #1 a young Jah Wobble, Sir? 🙂
