thepurpleblob Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Brightened up my Friday... Perhaps you have to be a certain age, and perhaps you have to have lived on Tyneside during the 80s. However, I don't think I have seen a local band before or since with the charisma of this lot...

I vaguely recall the bass player being somebody on BassChat's dad Quote

[/quote] Great track! ...'somebody on BassChat's dad'... fame at last! I used to be 'Mark', but am now more often known as 'Henry's Dad'. Such is life. Edited March 16, 2012 by discreet Quote

That band made by time at Newcastle University vaguely bareable Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I can't listen to the clip - is it Hawaii 5-0? The bass player was Ian Thomson, I think. Lovely chap, great player. Edited March 16, 2012 by wateroftyne Quote

I've never been to Newcastle. I was commenting on the ignominy of being known merely as 'somebody's dad'... Edited March 16, 2012 by discreet Quote

Thus making me feel incredibly old Quote

daz Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Its probably that band jimmy Nail was in, wearing one doc marten and one trainer, as a 'gimmick' Easily phased on Tyneside in those days then ? Quote
