If they split the money spent on DWTS 5 ways and did a series on 5 genres of music it would be great. But the plebs want the sh1t they're fed.

This has car crash tv written all over it!! Why the f**k are they letting Tubridy near anything like this?? :mad: They should have done a seperate series with impartial judges/panelists. It'll be a farce...

I'm no fan of Turbidy, but regardless: "Presented by Mary Black, Ireland’s Favourite Folk Song is..."

apparently Edwards original bass line was a bit dull until Nile told him how to make it better - thank god for that! It's just a shame Nile could play guitar and bass at the same time...

Hotblack Desiato

'Everybody Dance" has a much better bassline imho.

Is it just me or is Eric singing a different song to what the guitarist is playing??

When I watched it, I thought he got confused and song the wrong song instead of this one:

Certainly the melody the guitarist is playing anyway.... :pac:

Hello, did you know that this Saturday is Australia Day? Well, someone in Sky Arts does and they are using it as an excuse to show a documentary about the Go Betweens and a TV Mini Series about the Easy Beats. And show lots of repeats of Australian Concerts. Sure why not?

BBC2NI are having none of that and instead have some Robbie Burns thing on. Ayr United are known as the Honest Men after one of his poems, which is a bit of a lame nickname. They got knocked out of the Scottish Cup by a non league team this weekend, but at least they are honest. Anyway, I digress ...

A lot of repeat performances on the show which were on last week.

I know they skip weeks that Mike Smith presented, but the 30 minute format doesn't give them as much scope as the older 45 minutes shows to throw some oddities in.

Skid X

Ooh Betty, Ooh Betty

Welsh Megaman

Singers partially concealing their faces and living hermit-like underneath opera houses are on the way out, Mr. Epstein.

Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley knocked off the top spot.



Told you House Music was a fad.

Pepsi and Shirlie, denied a Number One by George Michael.

Bit awkward whenever the Wham! crew met up again.

Hotblack Desiato

He preferred Coke to Pepsi. Allegedly.

Welsh Megaman

Mark King, and the most expensive thumb in rock!

It has to rest on its own seperate pillow at night

Welsh Megaman

“Very 1987...Pepsi and Shirlie!”


Can’t argue with that.
