ONCE APON A TIME...

.

I know its late notice and all that, but this bank holiday Monday, as well as being a charity tribute to a classic old thing in the world of rock in the shape of the beer monsters of rock charity festival at the Crimea Castleford it is also time to pay tribute to another OLD thing in rock
.
Yes, our very own Sam ‘the knob’ hirst celebrates his birthday
.
Sam being the shy, retiring type, kept this fact close to his very manly and hairy chest. And it was only by chance that big sexy Dave found his telegram from the queen whilst searching for a plaster after he tripped over sams birth certificate

.

silly to leave a carved stone tablet in the middle of your front room floor!!
. before the gig Sam will relive parts of his youth by firstly visiting the old scrungethorpe pit head where he first began work at the age of seven as a pit pony, oh how he often recalls how he used to have to get up at half past ten at night (half an hour before he went to bed) drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty nine hours a day at pit, and pay the pit owner for the privilege, and then start his shift as a lumberjack!!!

. Later in the day he will also revisit the spot in gipton where he first met George Formby

.

(Sam spent twenty years in the forties and fifties as Georges decoy/stunt/ bedroom double)
. if you cant wait till Monday to give the big twot a hug n a kiss, we are gunna be celebrating at the CROSS KEYS MORLEY on Saturday

,

police have advised that you get there early as his zimmer takes up a lot of room, plus he often parks his little blue plastic car right in the doorway
.

if you know sam then you know he can be a bit of a drama queen who loves nowt better than a good moan

.

but if you really know sam, you'll know hes a

great bloke

.

a great musician

.

and most importantly

.

A GREAT MATE

.

DON'T FORGET
