Lucky to live in a smallish town with I few well known groups, pwei, wondersfuff, neds atomic dustbin and diamond head. Brien Tatler from diamond head along with Robert Plant can regularly be seen drinking and shopping in the town. Roberts son Logan was at my school a few years younger than me, does well with his brewery in London beavertown. Stourbridge at a guess. Well not a guess, I have tickets for the wonderstuff in June. Seen neds loads back in the day and of course PWEI. This was also one of my favourite gigs of all time. Miles Hunt did a load of free stuff during the lockdowns. Just him, a guitar and going back over a quite extensive back catalogue. Quote
MikeHorton Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Mission drive was my favorite, where ru seeing them in June? Quote

Saw them 3 year back at the same venue with the neds as support. First time I saw them would have been 89 I think? I know I was quite young. Your mate who was into CUD. Is he still going to see them? They have a quite cultish following, especially in the North. The same faces can be seen at the gigs from the last 30 years. The picture i put up last night, my mate was just about to show Carl (lead singer) his CUD tattoo..... We had a good chat to his daughters. They find it really strange that a band with very very limited mainstream appeal and 1 significant hit record can on occasions attract such fanatical following. The leeds hometown gigs are always chaotic. Most of the crowd 50 ish and still jumping around like teenagers.... Quote
MikeHorton Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Fred a cabinet maker I'm sure he will be he's a friend of an old work colleague who I've not seen since covid etc. Leeds always seems to have some great gigs a bit like Wolvo. Good to see people getting the chance of a bit of normality. Let me know if ur ever this neck of the woods river rooms and the town hall in Stourbridge get the odd decent act. Quote

We used to go down a fair bit on the early 90s for obvious reasons....lol I'm fortunate that I never really stopped going to gigs. Didn't go to many when the kids were young but never stopped. Nowadays I'm back at it.....lol I'm also fortunate that my kids are musical. Lewis comes to some gigs with me. Infact to be honest I wouldn't have bothered with "Stiff little fingers " Saturday if he wasn't going. Grace doesn't go as often. But, her claim to fame will always be that her first ever proper gig was "the stone roses". 1 Quote

Guest Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) been listening to this classic. Farm labourer Harry cox recounting a tale of the rising sun in lowestoft. Thought to be the origin of the song house of the rising sun. Rather bawdy old tale Edited July 7, 2022 by goat Quote
Tiggie Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Time to resurrect this thread I've been listening to this youtube page for last few days. Its street musicians from all around the world playing the same song. They then mix them together to create the video. Some cracking covers. One of my favourite songs done justice..... ( & yes I know Ringo isn't exactly a street singer and Robbie wrote the song but you get the jist) 1 Quote

I don’t think I’ve heard anything I don’t like, and much I think is amazing. 1 Quote
Tiggie Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 @Steve_M. I was blown away first time I heard something they did. From the singing to the presentation of the videos. So incredibly well done all around. 1 Quote

Tiggie Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Thought I'd revive this thread as I've just discovered this beauty Most of it is covers of classic blues songs like " no particular place to go " and " Johnny B goode " Quote
