Yes, lots of people said the “slops” ended up in the mild.

I always drank mild until it “disappeared” 20 years or so ago. My local, before football, served Bass Mild on hand pumps and almost all the men in the bar drank it. They put it on electric pumps and everyone […]

Yes, he has thanks for asking. He filmed that just after leaving drama school and has performed in The Play That Goes Wrong and Comedy About A Bank Robbery in the West End and generally worked, albeit with a few […]

If you’ll indulge me, this is Master Pinmonkey walking around in the video. He had a very enjoyable 3/4 days filming and the video was directed by Karl’s daughter.

I am always envious of people who haven’t watched The Sopranos and are about to start because it is just so wonderful. James Gandolfini is perfect casting although it seems unfair to the other actors to single him […]

I think that there actually may be two different songs. There is “I Have Had Singing” which was written by Stephen Sametz (performed by Chanticleer) and “Always Singing” by Dale Warland, both inspired by the words […]

Saw them at Fibbers, York on this tour. Pete Shelley came on stage looking like he’d just woken up but soon warmed up to play a fantastic set. I must say that the whole band seemed really together and enjoying it […]

A little late in replying but I was at Nottingham. Fantastic gig at a great venue, but how do you begin to describe Katzenjammer?
It was the start of a purple patch of gigging for us. Following Katzenjammer, we […]
