Duncan Oakley
Big idiot with a guitar, who goes around the country's top comedy clubs, making people larf art lard.....(and stuff).
Martin Mckenna
Hugely talentless graphic designer, also with a penchant for idiocy, on the verge of Hollywood success - God knows why!?!?!
The Pesky Alligators
Legendary! In my opinion, the best musical act on the Nottingham circuit. They don't need the work as much as I do, though, so still book me!!!!
Rob's baby. Do you write your own music and want to get it played on radio? I'm surprised you haven't heard of this one already. Well, what are you waiting for?
Richie Muir
Richie has the finest male voice on the Nottingham covers circuit ... and his guitar was chosen by Noel Gallagher himself! He also happens to be one of those people you meet and say afterwards, "What a horrible guy!" Hugely popular, hugely talented, hugely huge!
Hannah & Jon
Hannah's vocals are jaw-droppingly beautiful and when Jon plays that guitar it just makes you want to break his fingers! Grrharumph! Billions of blue blistering barnacles! Suffering sakatash!!
"An Eclectic Blend of Musical Style" is what their website says. Pretty accurate ... but they missed out the part where they kick the proverbial rear-end!!! A great funked-up, rocked-out vibe with some really cool tunes. They're so cool, they even get away with the odd predictable crowd-pleaser. Frankly, by that time, they've got you well & truly by the balls anyway. I hate them so much, I've booked them to play at my own wedding!
GR Cases
Are you in U2? Do you have a shed load of instruments and amps and speakers and cables and lighting and computers and Bono's ego, or anything delicate for that matter, to shove into the hold of your private jet on your way to Japan or Madison Square Gardens? Well then, what you'll be needing is a flight case. Big, strong, sturdy box to protect whatever it is you want to protect from those oh so careful baggage handlers. Made by the big man himself: Mr Malcolm Chapman. Yes, he's related - or so he keeps telling me. That's him in the photo, the one on the left. Nothing going on here but pure, unashamed, unabridged, in-your-face nepotism!!! And no, the other one isn't my grandad.
Uncle Barry's new music bar! As raucous as a raucous thing on a raucous day. I've not been there yet but if the bar is anything like Uncle Barry, you'll get to be very naughty and you'll have a right old laff!
Jonatha Barbieri
Imagine a taller, blonder, more blue-eyed, Italian version of Duncan ... well, that'll be my best buddy from Italy. He's also into idiocy in a big way. We were DJs together on our local radio station back in 1991 when I lived in my Mum's home town of Reggio Emilia. We were the "Mark & Lard" of Radio Centrale ... and then the station went bust. He still DJs and I don't.
The Herb Birds
By far the cutest duo on Nottingham's live music circuit. Check them out, too - they're awesome! Don't book them, though, book me!!!
Ahh! Little Stacey. We've known each other since we were kids. Cool as a cucumber in The Antarctic, as wackey as a cake of soap suds on a motorbike and absolutely stunning to boot (hands off, though, she's spoken for!! The girl's got passion, ambition, a great sense of fun ... and hundreds upon hundreds of shoes! Go and buy some, would ya!!
