I saw Showaddywaddy a few years ago and they were actually quite good. I was drunk at the time though  There, I've admitted it. They say admittance is the first step....  Their last album, a set of classics recorded at Sun Studios, was surprisingly (to me at least) good. I reckon they'd go down a storm in a 10cc/Quo slot. |

Only if Sir Jimmy Saville introduces them.  Jules |

Horslips though...they'd be so so good. Not nearly enough Irish music at Croppers over the years (someone is bound to disprove this notion of mine any second now)... |

Agreed. Though I'm not necessarily weighing in for Horslips in particular. Jules |

Good call for The Popes...we had them in Southsea a few weeks ago and they were storming. Cheap Trick would be very good for the "you'll know more of their songs than you think you do" slot.

 Showaddywaddy was the first band I ever saw live (and they were great-Hey Rock'n Roll stomp.stomp.stomp!!!) but I never tell people that.My second gig was the first Monsters Of Rock at Donington and I had a guest pass, which is way cooler, so I always tell people that. I'd like to see Motorhead play at Croppers, just to see how long it takes the field to clear.The sound of chairs being folded up in a hurry could well drown out the band.

All very well objecting to one act, but a whole genre? Give us an idea where you draw the line, it must be a bit blurry around the Steely Dan, Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, Average White Band, Georgie Fame, Jaco Pastorius, John McLaughlin areas. I bet you don't hear any jazz down the Lowick Community Hall. |

Jazz influenced Rock is of course ok. Jazz-rock, clearly, isn't. Lol. I am joking of course... I mean, I've got plenty of jazz in my collection (well, 3 CDs and a Reader's Digest vinyl box set). I was going to make a joke about Jazz Mags. But I've wisely decided against it.... I don't dislike Jazz at all...I just don't really get much of it (I remember seeing Art Blakey a few years before he died...everyone was in raptures...I was bored senseless). Its not a question of a closed mind...I'll listen to anything. Can't guarantee to like it though. Coltrane though. He was cool. So don't give up on me just yet  |

Cheers Goaty for mentioning that album - apparently that is the source most of the material on my Ponty-Clarke-Bela Fleck (in place of Di Meola) boot, and I couldn't remember the title.Sorted.

The first band I ever saw was "The Dooleys" when I was about 9. I seem to remember enjoying it at the time, but haven't heard any of their records since! |
