Didn’t really bother with their records, but went down to Stockton to see them a few years ago. They were excellent. As you mentioned, the guitarist was class. Never got the chance to follow that gig up which is a shame.

In your world Harry maybe. Seven years of constantly touring the world. That's more than most punk bands ever achieved.

Time flies. or I'm mixing them up with another band. True 7 years was what Led Zep had really.

Saw them live a few times supporting people and they were undoubtedly talented kids but the music was nothing new and sounded a bit forced to me. Also very hard for them to overcome that initial hype once it had died down.

Too true. It was Dr Feelgood with new lungs and legs. I wouldn't thank you for new music nowadays. Think they had took the band as far as it could go though. They were trying to attract a younger audience but playing old mans music

Saw them 5 years ago in Galway, felt a bit manufactured to me & found the guitarist's Wilko impersonations pretty naff.
