Hi Fidgit.
Agree with Kitty. Most amazing band. Where in Sweden are you, I'm tempted to fly over for the gig. Wonder if they will attempt Wuthering Heights in Swedish!!

They were at Greenbelt over the August bank holiday (UK) and sadly clashed wit hte FC I was involved with. Everyone who went to see them was very impressed and I'm not a little jealous.

Go check their website for a clue.

Fantastic arrangements and humour. They are such nice people to speak to after the gig.
Last time I saw them was at the Mick Jagger Centre (Dartford). I had been let out of hospital for the weekend and they were better than any medicine. Sweden enjoy! (I *think* they may even do an Abba number :-)

Brilliant stuff - watch the video in the link above. I know Dave Suitch (long haired one without bow tie), he also has a band called Joe Bazouki & The Missing Puddings - He is a Genius!!!
