    Such sad news about Reg - thanks for posting Wiz.

    Saw the Wurzels late 60's in some social club bedecked with hay bales near Midsomer Norton.
    For me it was Adge who was the absolute legend and never thought they were anywhere near as good after his death in '74.

    'Twice Daily' and 'Don't Tell I, Tell ee'

    Magic.
