Why David Gilmour isn't involved is beyond me

 

 

I don't get this countrys fixation with crappy boy/girlbands. It's produced The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Kinks etc. and still we continue to have sh*te on display

I believe that the organisers always go for the safe and inoffensive option. The bands mentioned probably wouldn't lend themselves to such tomfoolery anyway.

 

you missed an option..."did not see them".

Duran Duran were and are crap.

 

I'm afraid you got that soooo wrong. Back in the day they produced some great pop songs.

They were ok I guess. i liked some of their tracks. I used to know a couple of people who worked for them, so when one of my friends was married I met Simon and John from the band. They seemed ok guys!

Girls on Film was a good song. They all look like this these days. Apart from the fat singing one.

yeah they did

pixie boots, frilly shirts and all

AND

they supported Blondie on a US tour

 

ordainery world is my fave

remember their early days at the old rum runner (was way too young and looked too young to get in)   I also remember seeing them drinking in that club on Constitution Hill where Haircut 100 were always playing before they were famous - can't for the life of me remember what it was called 

I like Secret Oktober, but I've still yet to work out what the lyrics are about 

 

cedar tree or cedar club or summat like that?

Are there any younger forumers here? I bet they don't know what Barbarella is if there are.

 

that's the one - the Cedar club run by Scary Eddie Fewtrill 

jane fonda film

I don't fall in to that category but hey ho *sighs* 

some of my family came to brum before me

the fewtrills were a NAME back then

even ive heard of them

his wife was a nurse at the QEPH - really nice woman, couldn't believe she was married to him  and she lived after she divorced him 

 

loved that club though - used to drink in the Woodman pub round the corner as my mum worked there as a barmaid and then we'd head off to the Ceadar 

the woodman has shut down now

no trade

well

thats me off

 

night 

Who?

Bet you'd look hot in a space age leotard 

shame - it was never the same when Grace and Albert left 

 

anyhoo night night pirate - don't leave it so long to come and see us again 

Think again 

Don't burst my bubble babe!

My memory isn't great but I'm pretty sure that some of 'em played for a while with power station and showed that they could rock. Later on one of the best guitarists ever, Warren Cuccorullo played as part of the band.
