The only Skids tune I know is, obviously, 'Into The Valley'...

Direct me to a great album that's worth checking out!   :D

They didn't do one bad song in my opinion.  Don't forget TV Stars either which was the B-side to Into The Valley  ;D ;D

You can't go wrong with the 3 albums that featured Stuart Adamson before he left which were Scared To Dance, Days In Europa and Circus Games.  Plenty of good none album tracks knocking about as well.  Could send you anything via WeTransfer if your interested?

Oooops sorry, I'm assuming everyone knows what I know.  Basically it's a site that lets you send music over the internet.  You receive a link in an e-mail where you download the music from on to your pc to listen to, it's that easy.  If your still interested please let me know

Saw Eddie Tudor Pole last night.
Bit sad and past it.
I counted 45 people in the room, not much of a crowd in my opinion ,but he thought it was a great turn out for him. Most of the people there were for the local suport band 2 Sick Monkeys.

Kept going on about "when i was in the Sex Pistols...."

 ???
Whooosshhhh !!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his whole involvement with the Pistols doing one song for the GRARS movie?  Which he was in for about thirty seconds?

That's about it.
I'm sure I read somewhere that he auditioned to take the place of John at some point.
Whooosshhhh !!!

I haven't seen 'Swindle' in a great many years, but I believe that an early scene had a bunch of people auditioning to replace John... one of which was Ed?  And a caption that said 'Anyone can be a Sex Pistol'?

Saw Tony Wright (Terrorvision) doing a solo gig in my hometown at the weekend.  Much fun and helped me forget my broken heart for a few hours.  Wish I'd managed to get Terrorvision tickets for Manchester before they sold out

Got Red Fang in Manchester on Friday - looking forward to some big, heavy, hairy stoner-rock joyousness.

Well, tonight I went to the first none NMA gig I have been to for a very long time. It was --

Buzzcocks on their 40,Th anniversary tour at Rock City. 

More for Ange than for myself. When I first met her 26 years ago, she had "Buzzcocks" painted at the back of her leather jacket.

They can still well and truly play. Their drummer was absolutely top end.They sounded great and true to form. Played lots of classics. Songs I had not heard before were still good and full of energy and sounded like the Buzzcocks should. Did one Encore which included the must-have "Ever fallen in love" . Pete Shelley bless him, looks completely different now. Only thing I was uncomfortable with, they did not pause between songs, they went from one to another. I prefer the NMA way of one finishes, then one begins.
Crowd was very much mid 40's to mid 50's. Long time since I have been in a group and felt young. A good gig, Ange was very happy with it and danced a lot. I would say from my point of view the major difference for me was the sense of belonging I feel when in the crowd at an NMA gig I did not get there. -- And at an NMA gig that is one of the most ingratiating things.
