Could they be any funkier? A big phat bass and a little bit of swing from the drummer Edited January 30, 2020 by Dr Gerbil-Fritters 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does she do that ? Are they DCC drumsticks or something ? Quite an engaging little song a Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep sort of way though . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You imagine the drums playing! Roja 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a live performance, the band is a father and daughter combo, and she does play the drums. Their songs are quite witty and some at the same time have a political message. Even their band name Exbats is about freeing battery chickens. Edited January 31, 2020 by Clive Mortimore 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been busking all over Europe for almost 30 years , since she was about 4 years old. https://binged.it/37LA96z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallpaul69 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi to Clive, and the 100+ followers of this thread, Having enjoyed reading this thread over the last year or so and thrown in the occasional thought, I decided I should let you know that I have set up a thread called "Lower Thames Yard" for my upcoming Western Region layout. There is no layout yet, just plans, and while I can't promise Clive's level of whit or music videos I hope you will have a look and chuck in your two pennys worth telling me (politely!) what you think of my efforts. In the first post I have set the scene and subsequently asked help on background from the first respondents. Next I will be telling readers how I am dealing with semaphore and colour light signals to cope with operating in two eras 30 years apart! Soon I hope to post pics of my efforts with DMUs although I know they are no match for the efforts of Clive, Gibbo and others. So "Cheers" everyone, and I hope to read you in my thread at some stage! Best regards Paul 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted February 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2020 GLC's van was for sale on eBay for less than a grand a few years ago, I was quite tempted to bid for it. I'm not into their music (or in fact almost any music) but do appreciate them for not taking themselves at all seriously. "Newport State of Mind" is excellent. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2020 Going back a bit in time to my era this came up on one my Facebook feeds today. Barbarella's was one of the early Eddie Fewtrell clubs and IIRC operated from about 1972 to 1979. These were the guest acts in February 1978. Although he used a lot of support acts from shows going on elsewhere in the city and a lot of people who were fairly unknown at the time he also seemed to have a knack of 'persuading' well known musicians to play relatively small venues. Perhaps something to do with the urban legend that he once saw off four associates of the Kray Twins when armed only with a Dimple pint pot. In the rock days it hosted AC/DC and Queen. After morphing to the punk/new wave era the bands included The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshee’s, Ramones and the Buzzcocks. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Paul, but what would the 'orses have to eat if the sheep had eaten it all? And more to the point where would I get my manure for the garden? And an even bigger point, Mrs Ms feet would still be on the ground if she were to ride a sheep. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
