One of my favourite bands growing up.

Great band saw them a few times, was a big fan still listening to the stuff Andy is doing.

Sorry @Swindon On Tour , you aren't Swindon's finest after all

If only you had made friends for Nigel

Your senses working overtime or something this Morning

Nigel never made plans for the magic roundabout.
Anyway give me Billy Piper and Melinda Messenger.

Kerry from This Country would scare me.

First time I heard them was on ToTP, but can't remember if it was Making Plans, or Sgt Rock. I remember that for YEARS I thought they were Scandinavian as I misheard the presenter and could have sworn he said they were "Sweden's finest..."

Love on a Farmboy's Wages and Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead, I still listen to in the car all the time. Great stuff.

went to see them at Newcastle city hall in about 1982ish, everyone walking away, concert was cancelled, Andy Partridge suffering from stage-fright , and I think have barely played live since.

Very underrated band.

Released quite a few singles but half of them never made the top 40.

 

[Crayola-Kid]

Love them. Sounds like a big “no” on a reunion though.

I had tickets for the gig , changed them for tickets for the Clash.

good decision

 

[Sam Handwich]

White Music was a great debut, albeit a bit frenetic, but they matured into fine songwriters.

 

[Teed]

Very underrated band.

A wise choice..was it the City Hall in 1982 you went to for the Clash??..i was at both of those.

 

[mini-x2]

Very underrated band.

Agreed. I love 'Oranges and Lemons'.

 

[zwartekat]

One of the bands you keep coming back to as they've covered so much ground. They have music / albums that seem to cover every mood. Sitting out in the sunshine listening to Skylarking can be a sublime experience.

The gig was cancelled so that's why I swapped, saw them 4 times was into the from the 3D EP.

First saw them on the ITV kids show Magpie. Saw a few gigs of that first version of the band, which was quite punky but with rather wacky keyboards and quirky songs. They did a fantastic version of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower.

sure I saw that, think did 'statue of liberty '

Senses working overtime often played when we score.
Not so often at present and the speakers not that great.
Not a big fan of goal music but at least it’s a local band being used. As is the train horn when the team come out onto the pitch.
