I think many who were not there don't realise that Buster is just doing a skinhead dance. In the ska clubs there were always loads of skinheads and the dancefloor energy was just incredible. You get 30 skinnies all in their white shirts, half-mast jeans and Doc Martens doing that, it's quite the experience. You either run screaming or get in there with them! Hahaha effing brilliant!
I used to like Bad Manners until they did a cover version of the can can and mum went and bought it. The worst thing that could happen happened she used to dance in front of them I will take that memory to grave
Captain Sensible Happy Talk, Adam Ant Puss in Boots. Some artists went 80's and some went a step further with kid's parties/Saturday morning TV novelty records.
Absolutely brilliant bought my tickets this morning for Galway gig.Was a big fan back in the day I always thought they would be bigger than Madness as they really put the effort in on stage.Great to see them still going strong.
I'm a millennial, and I play trombone. I got into ska during the American third wave. This tune is one of my favorites to play on my trombone. It's so fast, you can gliss nearly every note, etc. It's a ton of fun to play.
I'm from the States, I listen to tons of British music. Bad Manners is one of the BEST BANDS!! Can-Can, Bonanza, old tymey jazz and boogie numbers, and every novelty song.... they do it all!! R&B doesn't get better than this.... This is as fun to study musically as it is to have fun and dance and play and sing to!!
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Was getting food in a market in Norwich yesterday. Amongst the group of Bulgarians also there was a big fat bald bloke in red. I guess he was maybe 30. Of course I played them this. The big bloke laughed like a drain!
