Thread Name: New Modern Idiot Grunt Band Remember?
Subject: New Modern Idiot Grunt Band Remember?
Does anyone remember The New Modern Idiot Grunt Band? What happened to them in the intervening years?
They were a lunatic jug band duo in the early 70's I remember a song called "Mrs Murphy's man is back in town" they used to do.
I first saw them at my 1st and only Rock festival, in Rugby in 69'. It was a complete disaster, only a few hundred paying punters turned up for the whole weekend, I later found out (from Bridget St John) that nobody got payed. What a brilliant line up though...
Free, Genises, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Edgar Broughton Band, Third Ear Band, several blues bands, ( Climax Chicago, John Dummers, Spirit of John Morgan, I think), Strawbs (acoustic 3 piece), Bridget St John (my heroine at the time) and many others.
Cheers
