profanity I object to, children read this.
Any band that stoops to use such language debases themselves.

John from Hull, you know I am far from a prude and could give a crap about most political correctness.

However, I think that singers, bands, and so called artists who have to rely on a gimmick like the titles you describe to be noticed and differentiate themselves are morons who don't even have a clue how limiting they make themselves to a greater audience.

that is also, just your OPINION. which you are entitled to. however, you cannot say they are crap, only that you dont like them, which is fine.

Does anyone (j0hn, etc) know if they have a website, or a place where i can listen to or download some of their stuff??

Now be fair s6k - Bloke at the Bar can say they are crap if he wants to - but you don't have to agree with him After all jOhn tells us about plenty of things that are rubbish! And we love him for it. Perhaps bloke at the Bar wants to be loved?

None of us are gay and swearing is a bad habit but it does make life interesting. You'll never be bored watching Crack Town plus they are good musicians as well. harriWatts band appeal to a wide audience as well because they sing mostly about love. We even have women fans! Neither band are traditional folk artists because all of the music is modern and self-penned but it is acoustic based which means that we do infringe on traditional folk circuits from time to time. Entrance to the Lamp is free and like most places the ale gets you drunk so give the bands a chance. You can always move on to the next pub if the going gets tough. If you like either band the autographed CD's may become collectors items one day or make good beer mats! Farewell and good luck. Or hello and give us a Fiver! Not a single swearword was used in the making of this reply. All copyrights go to the artists concerned. Now where's that copy of my Sunday Sport....................?

Its Hobsons choice really Martin, but I feel sure you would have a massive impact, and make a really big Dent in the music industry. Your Piers would love you.

I have to agree, Cracktown are by far the worst duet I have heard in years. Amateur musicianship, below-par comedy, the f-word in every other verse. This duo have lived off the back of cheap material to gain some kind of school yard infamy. How do they do it. They are absolute MORONS riding on a CRAP JOKE!!! Two minutes of amusement, if you lucky, imagine playing in that band for the last two years, now thats chinese torture.

I am serpantly looking forward to this auspicious occasion. It will indeed be the highlight of Hull Fair week. Following on from his grand opening of the biggest fair in the world the Lord Minor of Hull will be chauffer driven in a local hackney to the Lamp. He will partake in light refreshments including sherry and cucumber slices dipped in cod liver oil (good for the bowls). He will give his rendition of a famous Old Mother Riley ditty (he/she was from Hull now in Eastern Cemetery) and then leave to enjoy his bowl movements. Enjoy.....

I'm so looking forward to it we may need to colour co-ordinate to ensure our full potential. Dress code can kill an evening before you even start. I've decided to wear my tuxedo, this I believe will fit in nicely with the ambience in the Lamp and the high standards promoted by Cracktown who we are supporting. Silver Fox normally wears a multi-coloured scarf knitted by his Grandma, she's been dead for 70 years. King Rats wardrobe is vast, utilising many well known army styles from around the world...enjoy

Dave, I've seen the E-mails between Pat and yourself. There's no need to repeat yourself! s6k (Adam for short), we don't know. Chances are CT will open the event, we'll fill in the middle then they will take it on further to new heights. Of course I could be wrong. They may see sense and get someone else to support them! So we'll turn up around 20.00 hours O'clock and suss the scene man.

ill prob be there around 8... quite early, it is essential to GRAB A BLOODY SEAT, because there is no way in hell i want to be left standing, or sat at the bar with restricted view from those standing!!!

i think the original lay out of the lamp, with the couch in that raised area, was the best, definately.

anyway, see you geezers there, for fun and frolicks. my mother still wants the cd autographed!!!!! ill bring it.
