It was you that got me into them Matt. Brilliant aren't they, but sadly Darell no longer with us, and he was the real talent by the looks. Got Cowboys from Hell on loop on my cd player in my car. How good is that intro riff. Thanks for the heads up. :D

Well, Jess - I'm shocked and dismayed it's a grand total of 0...

BUT - you could combine your love of the Tigers and get the score up to 3 in one easy go !!!

the MHTF benefit gig - HTO Thurs Aug 3rd !

BRAVE - TEA MONKEYS - SUPERLATIVES

All 3 for £5 - a bargain - all money goes to Matt's Trust Fund !

Sorry, folks, I couldn't resist the opportunity !

hehe, PG, i do not have a love of the tigers at all! i am a saints fan (and munster but not as much)!!!

i would however go to the Matt Hampson gig, but i think that we have some friends staying over at that time and we are just about to go on holiday, so i don't think it is likely

Well, the event is suitable for all ages - bring your stayover friends along too and break your 'rock and roll duck' !

regards -

PG

yes but if its anywhere near leicester then it is going to be too far away - i live in the south west. and i don't really think its the type of thing my parents would really enjoy that much

U2

Surprised myself really as I went to Wembley with modest expectations and was just blown away by them.

Another big surprise was Tina Turner. Admittedly we were all ratted on Champagne, but we sang along to every song and ended up hoarse.

You know - as excuses go... that's pretty solid !

never mind - tell you what - listen to us at the website and add your own applause for the 'live effect' !

cheers -

PG

Kinoulton....oh dear oh dear...champers can do strange things to a person !!

Kinoulton · Post by **Kinoulton** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 9:32 am

I know. :oops:

And the mad thing is that you probably think you know 2 or 3 Tina Turner songs. But when she starts going through her whole repetoire you realise you know dozens.

Wow Rizzo, even my brother hasn't seen Bon Jovi that many times, and he's got all the albums and every time Bon Jovi plays in England he gets tickets :P

How were The Corrs live? I'd really want to see them live at some point.
