Re: Wilko, Daltrey album and shows

Yes, a mate mentioned last night that he's going to see Quo in Manchester Apollo, and that Wilko is the support act. And Roger Daltery was on the radio the other day, mentioned that Wilko is just off to Japan for a short tour there, then doing a Suggs-related benefit gig. Might be cheaper to pop to ...

Re: The Brits Who Built The Modern World

I've seen a couple of documentaries about that bridge, looks great. The pylons apparently are hollow and have ladders up the centre - you can keep that. I recall when it was first designed, it wasn't going to have the suspension parts on, just be a flat bridge, but there was some concern over whethe...

Re: Marillion Song of the Day

I used to be into Marillion, in the Mk1 days, bought "Seasons End" which I thought was quite good, then for the sake of using up some "Our Price" (who????) tokens before they expired, bought "This Strange Engine", and it put me right off. Recently got hold of "Marb...

Re: From the jam All Mod Cons

Not sure whether I'll do this one, more likely to go and see Big Country, just because I've seen them before and it was good.

They're on at the Nantwich Jazz and Blues Festival, Easter Monday. I said a few years ago this would start becoming more of a rock thing.

Re: Benidorm

^^ I think part of the idea is that it's taking the mickey out of people who go all that way and then just sit with other British people and never leave the hotel. I was a late-comer to this, never watched it when it was first on but I enjoy it now. I can't say I've watched it in order, it's just do...

I remember an interview with Bob on Radio 1, New Years Eve 1979 and he was asked about this, said they'd probably start singing "she so .... nineteen eigh-ties ..." instead.

Re: Leasing a car

I'd seriously recommend you look at something other than new. You're going to lose a load of money buying a new car the moment you drive it out of the showroom, then you're going to add to that by putting a loan on it. Look at something around 2-3 years old, you'll still get a low mileage car but th...

Re: Best music film you have seen

I watched 'Hello Quo' the other night as it was on BBC4, that was a pretty good programme but either I'm having momentary blackouts or the editing of the conversations is a bit patchy. Covered basically from the very beginning, through various line-up changes right up to fairly recently. Again, not ...
