I'd place a safe bet that NTL won't get this, heaven forbid they give us a decent station instead of another crap one with a +1 at the end of it.

I found this last night too! I was watching some flamenco-esque guitarist called Greg Lake. He was awesome.

Incredible this is on NTL Channel 511. Don't know when it started but watched Purple in Montreux last night:)

Purple was on Performance Mainstreet when that chnnel occupied 511 for brief moment, Rock on TV seems to have only 6/7 progs.

In my old gaff I had ntl and on the performance channel and they used to play a Chas and Dave gig from years ago; they played it loads of times. Since seeing this concert I have began a secret love affair with Chas and Dave's music. Am I wrong? Or are Chas and Dave great musicians with a fantastic view on love and life which can only be acquired from workin since you could walk?

And before anyone takes a stab may I just stipulate for the record, that, being a fan of the game, I didn't mind 'Snooker Loopy', wouldn't have it played at my wedding or anything but I found it to be an amusing and cheerful song. Although 'rabbit' was a bit sh1t.

Needless to say, I've kept this a secret from my friends, should I come out? Does anyone know where I could get a recording of this gig?

Indeed.
Hopefully enough people will watch them that they can afford to buy a few more next month!
They've been through a few incarnations but always seem to struggle. The old problem of not enough money to buy in a good selection of shows, so they generate little revenue......and can't afford to buy in many new shows!

Yip, just had a wee can forward on the digibox. It'd be nice if they changed the rota once in a while
