spooky men

The Spooky Men invaded my local on Thursday night en route between gigs. They sang for their guinness (and their beds), and somehow or other we managed to find enough hovels for them to sleep in.

They take the piss out of a lot of sacred cows in such rich, deep and beautiful harmony that I for one will be glad to have them back any day of any month of any year they care to come. Our two were well behaved anyway - they even stroked the ferret.

I would upload a sound file but you can just find them on u tube nay bother sheila. Come again soon guys!

PG: Yes, it was a treat indeed. We did know they were coming....our house is often host to musical guests for various festivals.

Simon: Small world indeed. Hope you can catch them somewhere on this tour or if not, the next one. Do you want me to see if nick and gf are on the current tour?
