Reading, although Wiki has them down as coming from neighbouring Wokingham (most of the band lived in Reading). I can't say I knew much about them at the time. I picked up Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose, but that was as far as it went - good album, by the way.

And another: The Heart Throbs - Blood From A Stone

Here's another: Chapterhouse - Blood Music - Full Album (YouTube Playlist) Here's the first track Don't Look Now And the last: Love Forever

A band from my home town.

The Smiths - Asleep

It's worse if you take a literal meaning. I should definitely be more careful with how I word things.

Ha! Despite beating me to the post by seconds, Strummy fails to bugger up mine for once.

Hardfloor - "PELF" (Hardfloor vs DBS ft Egyptian Lover)

No matter how low the bar is set, Notes finds a way to sidle underneath it.

Off Topic You can hear some of Sam Larner here. If you have difficulty in understanding him, the subtitles are hilariously wrong.

The next one is largely based on the life of Sam Larner (1878 - 1965), a fisherman from Winterton-on-Sea (just north of Great Yarmouth). This is pretty much the life that my great grandfather lived. Although I'm not genetical related to Sam as far as I know, I do have a family connection to him. His 2x great grandfather was a chap called Robert Brown. Robert's first wife, Elizabeth Green, was my 5x great aunt. The Shoals Of Herring - Ewan MacColl

Not finished yet ... John Doyle - North Sea Holes The Pogues A Scottish-Norwegian take: Boreas - North Sea Holes

Here's my chance to post what this thread has been crying out for, a folk song about herring fishing. Back in 1960 Ewan MacColl was involved in a series of "Radio Ballads" . The radio ballads were the joint creation of Ewan MacColl, Charles Parker and Peggy Seeger. A radio ballad is a sound-tapestry woven of four basic elements: songs, instrumental music, sound effects and the recorded voices of those with whose lives each program deals. One of these radio ballads was "Singing the Fishing" about the rise and decline of the herring industry on the east coast of Scotland and East Anglia (Great Yarmouth in particular). My great grandfather was a herring fisherman from Great Yarmouth, and I have many fisherman and other mariners in my ancestry. Here's one of the songs that Ewan wrote for the program: Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger - North Sea Holes

Sorry.
