@Birmingham_81 In 1961 our family got our ID19 from the Paris factory and drove it back to Koln, where we lived. It was Pacific Blue and it was mind blowing. . .
The London gig appears to include a set of Go Betweens classics; killing me that I can't get down to London for a Monday. 🙏My nearest gig is Newcastle Cumberland Arms Fri April 26, with support from David Lance Callaghan and Helen McCookerybook. Info spread across several sites!
Just bought tickets to see The Girl With The Replaceable Head live in London in April (wegottickets.com/event/606232/). The band features Sylvia, Taffy from Hurrah!, Lindy from the Go-Betweens plus special guests, and they sound like this …rlwiththereplaceablehead.bandcamp.com/album/loves-lo…
And so it begins. Steve Dreads, our tour manager, limits us to five questions a day. Famously one time, Charlie, the viola player asked him if he could get an extra question. Dreads replied, “No, And that’s one of your questions.” 😁
@Birmingham_81 Saw one rotting on the street in Amsterdam 2 weeks ago 😬
@Birmingham_81 Wow, this is fabulous. I was lucky enough to ride in 2 of these over the years, definitely my favourite. Thanks for the video!
@Birmingham_81 The green one at the start is lush.
I'm making the noise that Homer Simpson makes when he's thinking something inappropriate!
