NJS 4375 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 A return of the Countryside Alliance would be good - the sight of a Tim nice-but-dim in a barber jacket and tweed cap being truncheoned when they protested the fox hunt ban was fucking delightful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to hear traditional 18tj/19th century English fiddle music being played you'll need to go to Appalachia The Pogues in their heyday were an utterly magnificent band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I used to find singing “Dirty Old Man” instead of “Dirty Old Town” quite amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're still wrong. Strummer's voice was funny, perfectly built for the Clash songs but anything where he had to actually hold a tune he didn't have much. Saw him here in Sydney about six months before he died when he toured his solo stuff with the Mescalairos. Steve Kilbey of the Church is the same can sing his own stuff but can't hold a tune for toffee and always wants to be part of those tribute shows!!! @PaddockLad Next you're going to tell me New Model Army were terrible live, aren't you or did not having a lute stop you from seeing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
