blondejamtart Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'd have to plump for Clouds as that's where my other half and I went on our first "date" - and all these years (and two kids!) later, we're still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambovambo Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Saw Argent (no Colin Blunstone though) in the Americana - superb. Skipped school for the Radio One Club, in Clouds (DLT ... aargh, and Scottish band called the Dream Police incl. Hamish Stuart, who went on to AWB) ... The Dream Police covered While My Guitar Gently Weeps ... a recent song by a popular beat combo of the time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
