Re: (TV) Conversation starter (off topic)



Wild Willy Barrett is now a cabinet maker but occasionally plays pub gigs.
John Otway still plays gigs with TV Smith (ex Adverts), Attilla the
Stockbroker (punk poet) amongst others.

Louisa on a Horse has one lovely line "Look out Princes Risborough, I'm
back!!" - This will not mean much to many of you but I just love it when
pokey little towns get mentionned in songs (particularly English ones)

Cheers

Jeremy
