I’ll take The Stereophonics (although I’d rather not)

No... saw them at Wembley. My mates missus worked for their label. Had front row seats for free. Saw them again at Isle of Wight festival in 09’. Good band live. Not so keen on their new stuff.

Prodigy as most of them i've never heard of.

They all lived near me at one point but saw them live again at Isle of Wight festival. I didn’t want to but boy were they good! Seeing 25k people bouncing up and down in unison to firestarter on Keith’s command is a very good memory. RIP Keith.

Could it be Keane ?

We have a winner. Never liked them everything sounds the same.

Maybe someone would like to take my go as I’ve already been 🙂

Stranglers several times in the early 80s.

Swarb & Martin in a tiny pub room - they had a small PA and amps but decided not to use them!

Cropredy 🙂

[TrevorR]

Well that means there’s a good chance you’ve seen Thompson and Tull too... I’m going to have a second go and say Rush.

[Stub Mandrel]

Thompson - Glasto, then several times since. Tull and Rush both at the NEC - Broadsword and Signals. 🙂

I thought it was a clothes shop

Never heard of him either. Really scraping the barrel now.

My mate sang with Tank for a bit as far as i know (Doogie White)

That's the one, Little Johnny England - sorry missed the little out. An excellent rocky folk group led by P.J. Wright (ex-Steve Gibbons band and big mate of Dave Pegg). Very like Oysterband to my way of thinking.
