I had this annual back in the day

Chris Lowe's reminisces about the staircase he designed in an office block in Milton Keynes were great. He was more enthusiastic about the innovative angle on the handrail than he has even sounded since he became a musician

Hello, There are some new shows to report this week. Friday Night is Fleetwood Mac night on BBC4 which over on Sky Friday Night is eh, also Fleetwood Mac night. Maybe it's someone's Birthday or something.

Apparently this was the first concert there since Johnny Cash, so hard look to anyone who spent 49 years there and never saw a gig

Anyway, the Best Slade Comedy Sketch Of The Week might be Slade On Holiday from Reeves and Mortimer. Sure it's in a show called 'TV's Funniest Ever Sketches' (Channel 5, Thursday Night 12.05am) so surely Channel 5 wouldn't mislead us, eh?

They won't win, of course.

and the moment it all fell apart for Michael Jackson.

His face?

I like that Voice of the Beehive song, their drummer is also the drummer in Madness

Will Gary Glitter be earning royalties from that Doctorin' The Tardis performance? I thought the Yewtree axe might have got to that one.

dublinman1990

Did anyone watch Fontaines D.C.'s performance on the Mecury Music Prize tonight? I don't know much about this band at all. What gave them away about seeing their performance, which happened a while ago, was the thick Dublin accent coming from the lead singer. I will give them credit though. It was a really good performance from this band tonight. Let's hope it translates to a win for them all.

Yes - been watching bits of the show, having seen that one of the acts was an Irish band I wasn't aware of from this thread (thanks folks). Interesting, in an on-my-radar-way sort of way, and that was a fun song/performance. Good luck to them . Was also interested to see if Dave would perform Black, but he didn't - don't think anything else I've looked at from him has much registered with me, but maybe good luck to him on the promise of the former.

Jeebus, the buzz-word platitudes from the presenter :P

With such a generic hip-hop name too :pac:

Seriously though, well done Dave!

dublinman1990

The winner is Dave. Congratulations.

nomdeboardie

Congratulations to him, but surprised he's repeating the song from earlier, since it's an album award - or maybe that's the standard format?

Hotblack Desiato

Of course Dave is only his stage name. His real name is...
