Glad to see the Dead Sea Surfers got a mention - they were a great band as well as having an amusing name. I've got on tape a track by a Hull-based band called Roger's Interview (but no-one in Hull professes to have heard of them!)There's also Morris and the Minors (I met Morris, who told me he wrote The Deserter now sung by Fairport) and Slim Panatella and the Mellow Virginias (I think Slim was Simon Mayer the mandolin player).
