Out of interest who remembers the spear of destiny classic 'Liberator' ? I'll have put it on again but loved the fast version! Absolute quality...
Here, check this out, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_&_Anchor_Front_Row_Festival Some great bands that never made it to the big time
Agree with late 70s-early 80s best for music. People have forgot to mention Jilted John by Jilted John in that era though, haha.
What about John Cooper Clark, The Punk Poet (and shop-lifter from Colchester), knew him when i lived in Colie!
i was always more into superted then dangermouse..me and my mate still argue over would win a fight..sad really.. any thoughts tho?
yes i watched Marine Boy a lot. Wasn't it Japanese and dubbed over or something, or have i dreamt that bit. I have seen it on TV here a few times, this year probably. Still stands up to any of the rubbish the kids like now.
I went to Sincill Bank in 83/83 (can't remember whether it was a league or cup match) when John Fashanu nearly took Tony Norman's head off. Always remember at half time Tainted Love by Soft Cell was played. Always stuck in my mind for some reason, can't think why!?!?!?!?
My band used to do a cover of this is in the late 70's, it was a personal favourite(TV Smith can't be far off 60 now): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKG2rG-s29M Upload not working.......
I went to see JCC live a couple of times, he was good. For the benefit of those not familiar with the Manchester Punk Poet:
