Yes now that would be an odd combination, whatever happened to Jimmy Cricket? He was very popular some years ago. Lt Kudu.
Re: Mojo Magazine August 2021
One of the strangs was a Toy Doll at some point so who's complaining about the WurzelsI don't think I'll ever get used to seeing The Stranglers mentioned in close proximity to The Wurzels and go unchallenged as if that isn't a bad thing.

Re: Mojo Magazine August 2021
I don't think it's the case that people don't want to "challenge" the link between The Stranglers and The Wurzels or Toy Dolls, they just flat out don't want to acknowledge the link - and it's not hard to see why.

It's only entertainment!
It's not about being cool.
Bums on seats, tickets sold. Money made.

Big disagree - Stranglers Mk1 were everything about being cool - or rather outsider/maverick cool.jetblacksdad wrote: ↑22 Jun 2021, 10:33 It's only entertainment!

Even now, they're not in the same orbit as the Wurzels/so crap it's funny - it's only a bit of a larf....sphere.
Fun...everyone knows it gives you cancer

Re: Mojo Magazine August 2021
But they weren't doing the noistalgia circuit and managed by the Wurzels manager
Over the years they have lost the edge and become part of the furniture, and that's just fine.
A good, reliable band who give what you expect for the money you pay.
At least Hugh is more likely to get a shitty on and have a wig out.
Nowadays we get "sing along with the Strangluuuuuurs" and old man disco dancing.
And nowt wrong with the Wurzels!

I getcha though - it's not really an argument just a preference and I don't like 'comedy' bands...having said that I like Goldie Lookin Chain - so I've just shot myself in the foot!
