What gig did you go to last night?

Was discussing this with friends & family recently. Us cool kids didn't rate them - seemed to be enjoying themselves too much, and were from London. My 20-something offspring picked up on them, which allowed me to point them in the direction of the 'proper' bands of the era - The Specials, Selecta, Beat, etc.

Yes, I think they always were a bit of an accessible 'gateway' into 2 Tone and Ska and then get left behind. Then you forget what a amazing singles band they are/were.
My daughter said she'd have liked to have gone and I said I didn't think they'd register with her. She quoted Baggy Trousers, It must be love, Our House and House of Fun as iconic singles ... she's right of course.

Going to see 6 Doors to Nowhere tonight at the Royal Oak in Barcombe. They'll be fab

We saw Die Zauberflotte in Vienna. How posh is that? Wonderfully sung and clever staging. The story is utter nonsense, a pantomime more or less, but it is wonderful music and a lovely end to a short holiday
