:lol:

It'd take far more than that in my case!

A piece of music that doesn't hold up on its own as a piece of music is worthless.

Well that goes without saying it's just if some wanted to go and have a pint there and visit the pub rather than i like the song because i've been there lol
I haven't been to Sweden to appreciate that song or France to appreciate Nice in Nice either but like them both... but yeah your right there, but If there was ever a place i would of liked to have visited for sure with the band connection that has nothing to do with a particular song and that would be the old house in Blackheath near the common in Greenwich that's on the cover of Rattus..

Sir I was Joking, Tuckers Grave a great song, whether you have been to the pub or not, and its still open, the new owners seem to have expanded it, there is now a holiday cottage their, possible what Toby stayed in, and the bands studio is very near. Lt Kudu.

It wasn't Sil, it was Jet who said that! Sil is the manager, he's into making money. Jet is the respected senior of the band and the others always consult his wisdom on their decisions 🖤

With the cruise being bumped a year already, I reckon it's now 50/50 it ever goes ahead..
