Yes. They'll be playing at the village hall stage at the Electric Picnic on the sunday evening. An off-shoot of the band, Queen Elvis are playing there too on the Friday evening

Yes, a few of them did. The vocalist, Caroline and the guitarist, Col, went on to form Queen Elvis

Tin Soldier were good enough, a bit rough about the edges but I really liked their instrumental stuff

I am working it after all, so will be in the middle of all the Galway camp madness.
Maybe see some of ye there.

They are playing Sunday 31st in Galway, free gig as part of the Volvo Stopover

By the way, anyone know if they sing a song with lyrics something along the lines of 'yo yo you, mentally paranoid, yo yo yo, don't bother me'?? Heard that song around the same time as I used to listen to BBOS back in the nineties, but can't remember name of the song or what album it might be on - its driving me mad, please help!

They are down for two gigs on the official programme which is incorrect. They are playing at 7.30 on the Topaz stage.
The song you're referring to is Mentally Paralysed. I don't think its on any of the albums unfortunately

That's the one, mentally paralysed is it? Thought it was paranoid but its been quite a while since I've heard it.
Can't find any sign of it on the albums though, sadly
