I can also recommend both the book and the cd collection which I bought when first released.It made me search around my 'collection of 'Bradford' stuff and for those of a certain age..Derek Lister's book 'Bradford's Rock 'n' Roll' covering the whole music scene in Bradford between 1959 and 1965,is an absolute gem! Fab memories of bygone youthful indulgences in the old place.

Maybe the OK Bulls could get a bunch of the old timers to take turns to do the entertainment? Certainly there's plenty I would definitely love to see again and there'd be a pretty sizeable target audience of nostalgic rockers, wouldn't there?

I'll have a word with Mick and Omar, but frankly even though money will be tight in SL2013, you might just be past your prime by next year, so I can't guarantee an offer.

I'll take payment in curries if Omar is interested.

Your contract is for 5 years, and your 2 chicken masalas will be paid in arrears, subject to a minimum of 100 SL appearances. One onion bhaji bonus per trophy won. Report for training at 4.30.

I went to the same school as Excalibur. I remember seeing them play live in the school hall and getting out of lessons into the bargain.

Saw all those several times, except Method who I don't remember. Fantastic stuff at WMCs back in the day. I didn't realise it was John Parr in Ponders End though. We saw him in a pub in Donny just after St Elmo's fire, stood on his own. We were too star struck & shy to go up & talk to him.
