Subject: RE: how did you choose your mudcat name?
It's the name of a band I had in Cardiff. The bass player used to make props for a Welsh film company.They were making this film called "Branwen",about a Welsh soldier on a tour of duty in N.Ireland,falls in love with a catholic girl.They wanted some men to play the part of terrorists who kidnap the soldier.Because i'm from the North(Derry City),I was given the line.Ahem! "You.Soldier.Out of the car"Then we put a bag over his head,bungled him into the car and drove off.I accidentally banged his head on a couple of takes.It took us six hours,and in the final product our efforts came to the grand total of 45secs.Thats showbiz!
