.
we have had to keep it under our hats until we got all the artists permission to use their songs , but i am now proud to announce that we have finally started work on
.
-SAM AID-
.
the e.p.
.
through talking to Sam and everyone involved with his illness we have got together some of the worlds biggest stars and best known songs to try and help the mighty one back to his old self
.
by talking to Jill we found out about sams embarressing problem every time the good looking blonde nurse gave him a bed bath , so we had to include one by Stiff Little Fingy's who have donated an accapulco version of
ALTERNATIVE ULCER
recorded with the churwell tranvestites male voice choir and sunday club
.
Sams role model and old boozing buddy Shane Mcgowan has donated his own take on that old rat pack fave
LITTLE OLD
(three bottles a night of )
WINE DRINKING ME

.
then we got a call from Bad Manners and Jonah lewie to let us have a reworking of two of their classics into one with
SLIP UP FATTY - IN THE KITCHEN AT PARTIES
.
and finally our very own Big Sexy Dave has got together with Beeston rapper 50 Pence to do their very own version of the classic
TWENTY FOUR HOURS FROM 'T' ULCER
with sme c**t from Preston

.
as soon as we get the tracks from Michelle Mcmannus and the Crazy Frog we will let you know the release date

-NEXT GIG-
.
SAT 21st JAN
live
@
the CRANMER BANK PUB
MOORTOWN
.
its our first gig here and it would be nice to get a few of our lot over to make us feel at home
so if you fancy it
come on down
.
we called in to drop posters off and found the easiest way to the pub (when coming from the headingly end) is turning left at the lights before sainsbury's onto Black Moor Road and then the next right onto Saxon Road then (2nd) left onto Saxon Grove , up to the T junction , turn left and the pub is just on your right opposite a parade of shops
.
right click and print map if you're not sure

if you get stuck
just give us a bell on

-LATEST ON SAM-
.
we know a lot of people have been worried about sam after his xmas illness
.
well worry no longer
.
the man himself contacted me yesterday from his beachhut in jamaca to let us all know he is getting more and more like his old self every day (well you carnt win 'em all) and since he started his new diet of no spicy stuff and cutting back on the booze he has lost quite a bit of weight and suprisingly his hair has started to grow again , bringing him even closer to his lifetime dream of becoming frontman to a Status Quo tribute club and functions band
.
hes looking forward to seeing everyone at a gig soon and even sent us a photo of himself on giptons famous nudist beach which can be seen below
