Now there's something spinning round in my memory banks that (possibly Nick Davies at FOSNI) played Post Horn Gallop on a partially converted SLR...???? ..Or maybe it's my imagination banks making a withdrawal.... 
Or was it Sid Rose at Sterf Bend..???..

Or was it Carrot Reynolds in the wing? You'll remember him I think.
He certainly did it, but is he the one you're trying desperately to remember?

..Don't think so mucker..I would be gorrn by then...
But you have really built up my confidence that I wasn't gibbering p**s (for a change)..... 
|
Baaaaaaaaaaass

We should probably not mention Carrots, really....
On a lighter note, what a great 'tache I had way back then!!
I forgot I had one! lol
|
Hornblower

Call that a 'tache?
Waaaaaahhhhhhhh

Hi Billy! 
Good to see you're on form this bright morning.
|
townsergeant
|
'OH YES!'
I'll enjoy it while I can, as I've got to go to work soon 
Visit to Headway, Dover at lunchtime followed by a visit to Kent Music School this evening to meet The Master of The Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. 
Did he compose any good marches?
|
Hornblower
|
Not sure Billy - but I THINK he had a couple of hits, i.e.
We will rock you - Bohemian Rhapsody? That sort of thing.
Strange thing is, I thought he'd died (The name doesn't quite ring true either, but I suppose you'd know, my esteemed musical friend)
Oh well, I've been wrong before!
Have a good day mucker and come back soon to torment me.

You appear to have left Freddie Mercury off the list mucker!
Simple oversight I expect
Well, you can always blame Wikipedia I s'pose...
..are they trying to write him out of history?

I know him well as my mum went to college with him. His earlier works with 'The Fires of London' are fairly avant-garde, but his more recent stuff is good.

fairy avant-garde?!
I thought that was a top secret movement known only to myself and very few others.....

His music is not my 'cup of tea'
He doesn't 'do it' for me, I'm afraid.
I'll pass on your good wishes, should I get to speak to him tonight and tell him how much I love his music (two-faced git!)

Well I'll never cease to be impressed by our elite Horn Section. Mention the word music, and off they go dropping names and facts that a poor wee lowly Bass Section could only stand back and listen to in awe and admiration.... 
This thread started with some guys playing sandcastles in some holiday resort, thereafter showed some pics of them with the toys they'd bought with their pocket money, and the good old Hornies can still turn the thread round and make it.....
MUSICAL.........
My hat is dipped to you one and all..
(no..not this old hat... that would be too musical)....

And to the guy I went to see in Edinbugh last Friday who was billed as being a rock band.
He blasted us with an hour of white noise through the PA before shutting down his laptop to the cheers of me, Jelly and Kim.
Man, that was good cider.

Sharpy

Should've stayed with the rest of us on my leaving run then!!!

One lives and one learns, Sharpster.
I think Jelly & Kim ushered me out as I was about to jump on-stage and pull all his plugs out.
Like I said man, that was good cider.
