Red-Robbo Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Sad I wasn't there, but in the end I decided to watch Half Man Half Biscuit in Exeter instead, so not all bad. Possibly the only group to include a reference to Gerry Gow in one of their songs* * This One's For Now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McNabb still tours with the Icicle Works set, saw him year or so ago. Brilliant and plays about 2 hours or more, very worth catching if you get a chance.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Loudest gig I ever saw was at the Bierkeller. The Blues Band with Paul Jones on vocals. I couldn`t hear for a week. Saw some cracking stuff there. All About Eve and The Men They Couldn`t Hang were particularly memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me think of some of the Bierkeller gigs I attended: Dr and The Medics when there was a live broadcast by Whistle Test, The Chameleons, KRS-1/Boogie Down Productions, Fuzz Box/Ted Chippington. Sure there must be others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 For any youth that might be wondering what the dickens this thread is all about, the band in question reformed. This is a gig from last year. WARNING. They do use words your mother wouldn't want you to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
