The bowlers thing was awesome. I did most of the pa's for strike (u sure do). We were on same night as dream frequency. The ponyhaired geezer was pretty moody and wouldn't talk to us. I remember this huge gym full of comatose blokes with their tops off covered in tattoos looking like they were od-ing and the place stinking of vicks. Was mental night. Had been in dry bar all day before. Could hardly stand up.

Just remembered I was in a book with daley thompson as well

Stevie Winwood was/is a pretty big name really. He must be coining it off that horrible Eric Prydz Call on me tune as well.

I think I might have seen Strike do a PA while I was at University at Brum. U sure do was my mate Jacko's favourite, he used to love it.

nowthen you cheeky git I was asking if the show was regional or not.
Ed the brummy university gig was because matt from strikes sis was at the uni at the time and something to do with the student union. Was a good gig I think
