Subject: name another band please From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 11 May 00 - 05:04 AM Okay, right so, you are giving the lads in Australia a hand with a band name, so I thought I would try. I am in a band who can't decide their name, (we have been through 4 already and the problem with the latest one is that someone else already has it!) There are four of us, two girlies and two fellas. We play Irish/Scottish and Welsh music and live in Wales. There's four different nationalities in group. Let me know if you need any more info on the group to help out. So there we go - any really catchy ideas appreciated Slainte

Subject: RE: Help: name another band please From: Jacob B Date: 11 May 00 - 09:26 AM The Princes. (I can't help it, it's my main association with Wales.) If that seems inappropriate for a mixed-gender group, how about if you all wear clothes with fancy designs on them, and call yourself The Prints. |
Subject: RE: Help: name another band please From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 11 May 00 - 09:37 AM urm no I don't think I could persuade the lads to dress up. Especially the Glaswegian amongst us! I think I would be sworn at. Keep em coming. Regards Definately NOT the princes |
