I lost the cap years ago but I still wore the jeans with the tartan stripes down the side and the bottom.

They guys go about there business up here barely noticed now. Newly regrouped and back doing gigs too, I notice the original drummer is omitted, his latest publicity wasn't good, now then now then say no more. Other guys are brand new . One off the first boy bands, bet Robbie Williams wishes he could walk about with half the peace these guys get.

Oh dear and I thought you were a man of taste ! clearly NOT I hope you feel :oops: :oops: :oops:

Unfortunately we get nothing but tribute acts at our local theater and the very occassional 60's band although they did have Hugh Cornwall last year and Wilko Johnson earlier this on solo tours but sadly i couldn't make either.

The band i would most love to see if they ever tour again and came to our town would be the Three Johns and maybe the Inspiral carpets

I used to take Paul Heaton around of The Beautiful South, he moved to Mansfield and used to book me to take him around.

Plenty 80s Mod bands still do the rounds, Secret Affair, Lambrettas tour pretty much all year round, we where the mods :P

Whatever happened to the punk Sid Snot and what band was he in and are they still touring :?:

ermmmm....................

Sid snot was a Kenny Everett character on tv not a real person if you are on about sid viscous he is long dead as well.

Didn't Faye fife (of Rezillos fame) used to be a poster on here ? I think she worked in Dundee

Thats another band that should reform and tour I'm sure they'd do well on the nostalgia circuit

:lol: :lol: :lol: Your right edders Sid Snot was Kenny, I was never into punk, liked one or two songs, London calling, Borstal breakout but I was a Mod so it was, Specials, Chords, Mertoun Parkas, Secret Affair, Lambrettas, the Jam etc Still feel the Jam owes us 50+ ers a reunion.

I'm sure someone on here has used the Sid Snot handle though, I'm sure it had something to do with the talksport predictor, Sussex confirm or deny :lol: :lol: :lol:
