Day 5. A song that reminds you of someone.
This one goes back a bit to my late teens/early 20’s when I used to wear ripped jean shorts and DM’s with honey blonde hair that went past my waist (I have pics somewhere…I need to post them for a laugh!). Those days were filled with lots of music gigs..week in week out back to back – lots of trips up and down the motorway to Wolves civic hall.
The guy responsible for it all was Tetley (hi hon x) and when I hear this band/song I’m instantly reminded of those days squashed in with hundreds of others, jumping when they jumped, us both coming out of the venue completely deaf having had a great night. I’ve seen this band a number of times and although they have changed their line up and had a rough patch in the middle of their career they are still out and about today – playing Download festival in 2010. They formed in late 89 (the lead singer previously being in the Quireboys) and the tickets I can find that I’ve kept are from 93, 94, 96 and one that simply says 31 October – no year!
Without Tetley, I would have had an entirely different (and I think less fun) musical experience in my early 20’s.
Enjoy.. even though my hair is shorter I might just have a little mosh!
