It was hearing one being played on Saturday Night Live that sent me down the short scale rabbit hole. I’d like a Midwestern, but think I’d prefer a Wilcock Mullarkey (I played one, it was glorious).
I don’t know about that, but Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson lived there, when they were a couple.
My first wife lived in East Dulwich (off of East Dulwich Grove) as did two of my school chums (off Dog Kennel Hill). I had my very first pint in the Lord Palmerston on Lordship Lane and was a regular in The Forester’s.
A ways off at the moment, but we’re supporting local heroes, The Owls on St Andrew’s night or, as it is being named by the the organisers, St SKAndrew’s Night (which I think is quite clever, even if they’ve missed the apostrophe 🤦🏻).
Bands play Mustang Sally because it was in The Commitments. They play Sweet Home Alabama because that was in a film too. Alright Now was in a chewing gum ad. Films and TV have been responsible for many cover band staples. I think the reason these covers mostly suck is down to a, “That’ll do,” attitude.
