Both sunderland bands.

 

I was Mick and Nigel's roadie for one day only, they were in the same band, and I think Dave Stewart (the Wasp) traveled too but I,m not sure, great days those.

 

Listening to them right now again., no doubt the best band from sunderland.

Cheers Comm
I cant remember hearing Red Alert before.
Not bad.

 

My son saw the Toy Dolls recently at my behest - think it was at Manor Quay.

I saw them at the Wine Loft in Holmeside a few times in the 80's.

Did anyone see 1977 after the Man Utd game, outside the Point I think.

 

Surprised that no one has talked about Prefab Sprout, a very much a local band who had a influence over a lot of others.

 

Me (hee hee!)

Knopfler is phenomenal! He's a genius on the guitar - never was a great singer but I could watch him play guitar for hours!!

 

Good shout mate, they were from Langley Park I think.

no one mentioned the futureheads maximo park and frankie and the heartstrings

 

Hotdog, jumping frog..

 

Just who the **** are them?

The other 2 are ****e..

 

Paddy McAloon a Sunderland supporter, drank with him once before a game in the Pilot Cutter(now the Harbour View) with the late erstwhile comedian Mark Rough.

 

I'd agree. I listened to them last Saturday morning after logging on here, then watched one of their gigs which someone had put on YouTube. Spent most of Saturday with a smile on my face.

Tongue in cheek punk, tuneful and fun. They're getting a bit of a cult following with their entertaining gigs. A pal saw them 2year ago in the UK and said it was the best gig he'd been to. I'm trying to see if I can get down to Poland this October and see them play.....

 

Paddy McAloon, probably our most intelligent songwriter. Still living around Durham, or Consett area.

 

How to improve a song.

Graham Nash - a good one
Jimmy ****ing Nail

 

The North East is blessed and spoilt with a fantastic amount of musical talent, having played all over the country, in my opinion this area is the best - there's a bubbling undercurrent of new singer/songwriters/bands/ that are out daily playing and plying there trade in pubs and venues - what's needed is more audiences to support the venues and artist, peeps need to stop watching X FACTOR crap and go out and see it for real .

 

X-Factor? This guy says it all.
