Hoss Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Right... well now that sparkles has left the building i'm gonna talk about what this forums actually about(yawn).... THE NORTHSOUND AWARDS... my experience o it by j.r hartley...sorry S.M.Hossack.... twas a weird night... i thought i was dressed quite smart but turns out i was the only one with jeans on(i did make an effort with the shoes but couldnt get the blue dye out o my brown suede)... squirmed like a Cobain gettin my pic taken on the red carpet outside the hall(you couldnt even hypnotise me into being a flash git if you hired Derren Brown)... that didnt stop me suppin on free champagne tho and after much head to toe glances from the more aptly dressed posh revellers we resigned to the ceremony to receive a three course meal( i wanted a king rib supper but you got what you were given)... i started to feel at home with the bangers an mash but then the dessert was bizarre...why they serve posh pudding in the tiniest of portions with the HUGEST plates ill never know!... Euan and Amy lapped it up whilst givin me 'parental looks' for playing with my food! soon after that this trio of irish beauties who were sittin at our table broke into acapella song and the spotlight was on our table.... cue squirming and much floor watchin( i must get the dye out of those shoes kinda thing)... at this point the public were not yet in the arena... oh yeah the irish girl band were called Trinity. i prefer the shopping centre myself. when the punters finally came floodin in and fillin the balconies we got treated to Trinity again,this time on stage Kareoke style... joy.... soon followed by the catalogue boy one from Blue... he did his kareoke thing too(hes not as good at kareoke as my dad after a few)... blah...blah went down stairs to anticipate going on stage to pass amy a guitar that didnt work... amy got her award and played patience with an unplugged sounding geetar.... what was the soundman DOING???? maybe sparkles got a hold of him? anyways despite that she pulled it off wonderfully... soon after that i went home.... NOW,WHERE THE HELL WAS THE WRITE-UP IN THE 'LOCAL' PRESS EH EH?????!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 tell me more about the crazy shit....?Its a crazy marketing ploy to get you in the door... Watch him Stuart, watch him. He sneaks up on you and the next thing you know you are listening and enjoying a band that you would ordinarly run a mile from. I refer to the Ska thing I saw a few weeks ago by the way Biz. I rather enjoyed it. Pete's Rock N Rollness never ceases to amuse me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHand Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 speakin of aka ska im due a wee jamboree with colin from said band when i return from the hills.... i miss ghost of bongo... are they still a band????Technically we are still a band but in reality it has been about 2 months since we have played together. Split between two cities, although doable, is a logistic nightmare. The problems are amplified having a singer who works off-shore! Really want to kick-start it again. Oh yeah, and we are having drummer difficulty - in that we don't have one! We were just using whoever was available before two of the guys moved to Edinburgh. Ideally they will find someone down there, but I don't know how well that's going.When we going to be doing some music then?Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Mel Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Any chance of you taking some action shots at Drummonds ?' date=' if the sucking a golf ball through a hosepipe episode goes to plan - (bet it's less than 10 minutes) , you will have plenty time to nip doon The Moorings and photograph some REAL mean, YES, men who are so secure in their sexuality they wear make up - not in a poofy way - more like in a macho - Hi baby fancy trading lipstick - sorta way , I will NOT be wearing make up as it no doubt would make me so attractive that random groupies may try to molest me, and that just wouldn't do, after all I'm old enough to be your dad, if not older brother - either way it's incest . I can't wait to see the pics and review of the proceedings - with taste , aroma, longevity, girth, and length statistics revealed - for reviews of the events in the next Fudge Fanzine, cheers Biz.[/quote']This may be the post of the year.
