Tell Me Weimeraner - Genesis

I often take the 2x10 and amp, only used the full 4x10 and 2x10 a few times... But I have invested in a decent trolley! But my cabs are Markbass - the 4x10 is a relatively reasonable 25kg.

His shop was where MyDentist is now. He sold Akai VHS machines and rented out tapes - remember Jock getting Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit On Your Grave from there, my dad had no idea of the content! He only had the shop for a couple of years before getting sick of it, probably by beginning of '83. And the Private Shop was where the Caspian is now - had a black front. And it moved to Brook Street later. It's probably a barber's now...

Private Shop was on Boughton back in 1980ish... I remember the moaning in the Chester Chronicle. And me and Jock used to nip in there for amyl 😁

Didn't that used to be the Private Shop? My dad had a video shop next door!

Keep the 2x10, but buy a 4x10 of the same make and impedance (assuming it's 8ohm). That way you've got teh option of a 2x10 for small gigs, a 4x10 for medium and effectively a 6x10 for big ones. That's what I do!

Noise Annoys! - Buzzcocks

Sly and the Family Atone Fatsack Band Trouble Fu*k Punkadelic

I would say "you must never" if you do it badly. But then I'd tend to say that about any song!

Dig - Muvayne

I fought the law - The Clash

Steak in the Heart - Demented Are Go

I like to Moooove it - Reel 2 Real

Chantilly Lace - The Big Bopper

Toke That

Boybone.

Not being a fan of to-the-note-and-word covers, I'd say do it, but make it your own. Put a spin on it, a different feel, different instrumentation, whatever. But don't copy it. Copies are rarely more than a shadow of the original.

Naz-Tee May'en - Fishbone

Excellent! Haven't seen her since leaving school... Apparently "more than half" of the tickets have been sold - perhaps we'll almost have a crowd. Even Swamp's coming!

Down in the Park - Tubeway Army

I lived with a bunch of Boro-lads for about 4 years - all that "was us fookin wentin or fookin gannin man" sort of rubbed off on me and I occasionally tag it on the end of a sentence. It's not maaan, though!

Toilet On The Sea - Stranglers

The Stool On The Hill - The Beatles

WC you later, Alligator! - Bill Haley and His Comets

Destination Out - Last Exit
