It looks like BBC Three will be returning to Television next year so that'll be handy for when the BBC are trying to cram in all their Glastonbury coverage https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/mar/02/bbc-three-to-return-as-broadcast-channel-next-year



Weird Doc from the archives is this one where Bucks Fizz somehow lost their name to David Van Day from Dollar, so there was two Bucks Fizzes going at the same time. Which is at least one too many

13 Welsh Singers/Bands have reached the top of the UK singles charts. How many can you name?, I reckon seven is a decent score. The answer is in this link

Finally, the Best When You Were Sweet Sixteen / Come Out Ye Black And Tans/ Men Behind The Wire Medley Of The Week might be this one from Martin Brennan of Sligo (This Time With Alan Partridge Ep 4 GOLD Friday 9pm, all 6 episodes are repeated on that channel this week)

If you are looking to buy a tortoise, you go to Martin. He knows a man in Kildare who does them, but you talk to Martin

Thanks Skid-diddly-doo

Looking forward to the Poly Styrene documentary!

Seriously, if you don’t like this record, you are dead inside (and will result in your family being interviewed on the ‘Late Late Show’ about how ‘awful’ it must be)...

Thanks @Skid X.


Normally share a link to your post, in a gaming community website, weekly.

Site is down due to PHP server update, any friends from that visiting here, it should hopefully be resolved in a day or two.

Great post Skid.

Specially this.

10.35pm Geantrai (TG4)
From Larkins in Kilkenny, featuring Sandra Joyce, Niall Keegan, Gerry Banjo O'Connor and family and singer Nora Butler

Tipperary people fraternizing with the Kilkenny crowd. My father would turn in his grave.

I know Gerry since my teens. His brother and myself are in the same ever dwindling motorcycle club. At the last count we had three bikes and 10 members.

Nora was my grandmother's first cousin. She died last year. A beautiful singer who spent her life, basically, singing. No better woman to turn up at a nursing home of an afternoon and give the residents a treat.

May your god be with the days. (Hat tip to Dave Allen) ^^^^^^^^^^

I collate Skid's posts and send them to a couple offriends, depending on their musical tastes. One who died two years ago would be barking at me by lunchtime thursday if my update hadn't come through.

SFA

are the act with the most top 40 hits without making the top 10
(and fellow countrymen Gorky's Zygotic Mynci have the most top 75 singles without making the top 40. Luck of the Welsh eh?)

Looked like Phill Jupitus doppelganger wearing the 501 t-shirt applauding Thunderstruck there. "Yeah, great"...

PsychoPete

Amazing how Brian Johnson talking is typical gordie accent then he starts singing and doesnt even sound like the same person.

Fun little fact, the first song he ever wrote for acdc was you shook me all night long

I saw them for all of five minutes a couple of years ago supporting Primal Scream when tickets stopped being made of cardboard and started getting posted in regular white envelopes. Found the damn thing in what I thought was a bank statement or whatever after searching for about two hours. Made it I suppose with the added bonus of missing Fun Loving Criminals who were first on the lineup.

Jordan 199

That lad likes playing his Telecaster up high.
