The Men they couldn't hang...mainly because I have always wanted to see them and i haven't
 
Grand Funk Railroad

No, I saw them at the Albert Hall in the early 70s. I seem to recall they called themselves 'the loudest rock 'n roll band in the world'.

The Men they couldn't hang...mainly because I have always wanted to see them and i haven't

No, I saw them a couple of times at the Mean Fiddler and also at The Forum.

The Waterboys

No, I saw them at the MK Bowl in 1986 supporting Simple Minds. As I mentioned in another post it was the same day England played Argentina in the World Cup. Torture trying to get updates on the game.

Ok then, The Pogues?

No, I've seen the Pogues numerous times - Mean Fiddler, Electric Ballroom, Hammersmith Palais, Brixton Academy.
 
I'd say James because you couldn't go to a festival around the time of Sit Down without them being on the bill so I think they are the left-field obvious so not obvious choice.
 
Elvis Costello & TA

No, I've seen Elvis a couple of times. Camden 1978 and at the Albert Hall in the late 80s when he brought Van Morrison on as his special guest.

I'd say James because you couldn't go to a festival around the time of Sit Down without them being on the bill so I think they are the left-field obvious so not obvious choice.

I've seen James a couple of times too, but not at a festival. Brixton Academy about 15 years ago, and Worcester racecourse last year. Going to seem them again this summer at Newmarket racecourse.
