There was a thing on face book where someone found funny names. They found a bloke and set up the reveal with - Hot Dog Jumping Frog... Albert Kirkey

Carrying on the Prefab vibe , Andromeda Heights is in my humble opinion , Paddy’s
greatest Musical triumph.

Think they need their own thread.

Sipping down Raki and reading Maynard Keynes...

Deacon Blue wrote some good songs but not in the same league as Prefab Sprout. I voted Steve McQueen number 6 in my all time top 20 albums.

This is a great 10 minutes:

Love and Regret / It's All in the Game (Live Video)​

I went to see them at the Apollo, 30 years or so ago. They were excellent. What I remember most though is seeing some guy with long grey hair on the stage and I'm like 'Where's he come from? He wasn't there before, was he?'

He played a few songs with them, then as he was leaving the stage, the band gave their thanks to George Harrison. Bloody hell. I'd seen a Beatle playing live. For someone my age, now in my 60's who grew up with and witnessed first hand the affect those four mop topped lads had on the world, that was something special.

I had exactly the same thoughts and emotions when I saw McCartney play at the IoW festival a few years ago. Enjoyed seeing someone who changed the world culturally with the Beatles.

Huuuuge in Scotland still

Ocean Colour Scene were always huge in Scotland. I like Belle & Sebastian lots but Jocks seem to have really bad taste in music.
