Have you never heard of the Lancashire Hotpots or even the Pound Shop Boys?

Seems I forgot to post the video. https://youtu.be/KS3Ouh21jqA

It was shorter than saying “charity fundraising dinner at a Park Lane hotel”. Not really swanky because it was our charity so we had to be there but I did get to meet Joe Brown and Pete Murray and… (stop namedropping. Ed.)

I’m keeping silent. I own all the above records but prefer this version of Shaddap. I met Andrew at a function and when I told him I had the single he exclaimed, “you’re the one that bought it!”

Confusion will be my epitaph.
Or
Right place at the right time (lucky bugger).

Blimey is that you RobC?

That’s it. I’m sending out my Christmas CD next week.

Have you forgotten the Def Leppard Story already??

Back in the day, me and my mate went off on a weekend to Dublin. We found ourselves in a bar with a pint of Guinness and thought we were being given “the eye” by two young ladies. We introduced ourselves and one […]

Again? This is for you and me Nigel.

28 years later and […]

Nope. The Green & Blue CD was released in 2009. The new CD Star Clocks has been delayed until next month so will not be available on Friday. They don’t rush things.

See you Friday. http://www.davebarb.com for info.
