Tikeram's new teeth... Generic pearly whites and a whole gob full of them, looking like plastic. I never trust anyone who's got those. They look ridiculous.

Good shout that one.... I remember a football related song of his called '' he knocked it off''. I think it was a B side.

Everstrong (local band) - their album is among my faves. Burnley Bassman (from the 'old' Clarets Mad) was one of the band

And no one has forgotten them. So only three things wrong with that shout (or four if you count the erroneous definite article).

Does anyone remember the Hullabaloos? I thought not but they did exist and went to America as part of the 'British Invasion' bands. I'm not sure whether they ever came back or not.

Sadly Malcolm is no longer with us and I doubt he will ever be forgotten.
The Motors - still waiting patiently for them to reform.
Re Dr Feelgood, I met a guy on Canvey tonight who had travelled from Glasgow on a pilgrimage to lament the fact that they no longer hold the annual Feelgood memorial. Now that is real commitment to a cause.

Dr Feelgood are still going but obviously not with the original line up.
Saw them at The Mechanics in Burnley last year and they were still very good.
