chrisp65 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Do not make the same mistake I did 2 weeks ago and book the Mercure at Haydock. Mercure Haydock definitely in the bottom 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper small town England. It makes St Helen's itself seem almost metropolitan and multicultural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a follow up to that one called Utter Shite, CD or cassette only, incuding songs such as Space Jobbity and Pohemain Crapsody, I don't have it but I do have Playing Dead by Exhibit B, which is Howie Minns again. I may also have some Cherry Boys stuff on compilations (they are nothing like Eddie Shit, Cherry Biys were a 60s influenced band and Exhibit B were pretty odd) He also put out a a compilation of both albums on CD called... Complete and Utter Shit EDIT: In fact the other week I found a flyer for a night I did with Eddo as the main event, it was actually called... This night is complete and utter SHITE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Portals festival up in London this weekend. First live music since the Pat Sharpe-compered 90's cheese festival from two Xmases ago, which means I can finally scratch off The Vengaboys as being the last act I'd seen (no regrets, mind, not many people can/want to say they've seen Cotton-Eyed Joe "performed" live). Sadly two of the main acts I was most excited about seeing, We Lost The Sea and Oh Hiroshima (that were due to travel from Australia and Sweden respectively) have unsurprisingly pulled out. Still though, plenty of good stuff and at this stage it's just going to be nice to catch up with folk I've not seen in 2 years. Hopefully that's all I catch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say @GarethRDR you consistently find the best band named bands who wouldn’t want to listen to Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster?!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that particular instance, I'm fairly certain said band employed the tried & tested Random Wikipedia Article™ method of naming.

AVFC_Hitz Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Come check out Ford Hunger March. We've got an album playing in all good lifts near you.
