Johnny Cash & Country music with
attitude
DEEP FRIED CELTIC CAJUN AMERICANA &
BLUES
Put together by acclaimed Derby musicians who decided to
see how the Cajun music of Louisiana and Celtic music could
blend in a natural way to create a sound they have dubbed...
SWAMP TRASH. It’s purely a joyous celebration of two
musical cultures using Accordion, Mandolin, Guitar,
Harmonica, Mando-Cello, Bass Guitar, Whistles and
Percussion.
Think of it as the music you might hear in a Galway bar if The
Cajuns were over on tour and an after hour's session kicked
THE MODEST
THE FLOWERPOT, DERBY.
ARGUABLE, some say, a band is just a band
regardless of genre and style so The Modest
conjured up various visions pre their thirty plus
song set.
Opening with The Who classic I Can’t Explain
followed in quick succession by Louie Louie I was
soon beginning to have second thoughts.
Firstly, this Derby/Long Eaton unit comprising
Andrew Preview on bass, Richard Reid hitting the
tubs and Anton Goldapples on guitar vocals were
not only a very tight threesome and could all play
they stuff to the highest order, they had the songs
to match. And boy did they do just that as we had
Poison Ivy, Town Called Malice, My Ever
Changing Moods and other favourites that the
packed house all knew and loved with Do You
Love Me by The Contours closing set one.
With Soft Cell’s Tainted Love getting rocked up,
in fact most songs did, I was even more pleased
to hear Al Wilson’s The Snake, a song I don’t
think I’ve ever heard a band cover! Whilst all this
might not have been my usual fayre of loud
guitars and drums, and some songs I didn’t know,
due the skill of the musicians and their less
chatter more clatter approach I really was truly
hooked as song followed song which is
something I love and very few bands do. At one
point I thought they may need oxygen!
With a bit more soul and a hint of The Jam we
ended skywards with I Feel Good, Shake Your
Tail Feather and Land of 1000 Dances to
rapturous applause from the Derby crowd.
Checking out a band from a different genre to
what you’re familiar with is now firmly on my radar
as The Modest were not only the best band I’d
seen in recent years, they are probably one of the
best bands I’ve seen this millennium.

SACKO’S SHIT LIST...
Ah, hello again, had a good Christmas?
Sorry, stupid question, as if anyone over
the age of twelve has had a good
Christmas. No doubt your blood
pressure has tripled, you are thousands
in debt, all the work you didn't do over
Christmas is waiting for you when you
go back plus the stuff that you have to
do anyway and you have put on two
stone. Never mind, it's eleven months till
you have that ordeal all over again so
cheer up. Mind you it's three months till
the weather warms up and the nights
get lighter so that'll bring you right back
down, and then it's a mere two weeks
after till it gets hot enough to boil a
monkey's arse and the bonfire brigade
begin their evil work.
Telephone cold calling
You're bound to have had them. The
phone rings and it's a number you don't
recognise so like a twat you answer it.
And it's a PPI firm trying to scam you
30% of your rightful money for them
putting on a fucking stamp or sending
an email. Or it's a credit firm..'Hi, how
would like to borrow enough money to
get yourself totally out of debt?'
Or my favourite, the ones that hang up
and you try to call back and they are
engaged or you are in a queue. The
scam being is you pay them a premium
rate to call them while the cunts sit there
not answering the phone.
You do get the odd genuine one that is
actually selling a real product but they're
always con artists. I just had one
offering me a cut price holiday and
when I told them which orifice they
could force the cut price holiday into
sideways they resorted to the stock in
trade weapon of females and psychos
the world over, the rhetorical question.
'So you don't want a heavily discounted
holiday then?'. Nope. Because if it was
any good you wouldn't need to phone
me to sell it would you? And that my
friends is a good mantra to live by, if
they're trying to sell it to you it's a load
of shite. If it was half as good as they
make out they'd not need to ring
innocent bystanders at tea time (It's
always tea time). Would they?
Airport security.
Like all security, totally over the top.
OK, in the wake of assorted terror
attacks you can't be too careful, I get
that. Fair deal. But they don't have to
fucking enjoy it. Give some tossrag a
uniform and someone to shout at
and they're in hog's heaven. We are
just doing our job they say, just as
SS guards at fucking Belsen did as
they merrily tossed people into the
ovens. But you look at them and you
can just tell their wives are ugly and
their pleasures small so you have to
expect it.
I get that you can't take a drink on
unless you buy it behind the barriers.
OK. But why charge £127 for a bottle
of water? You could rely on the
airline's food and drink but according
to the man in the pub, they recycle
the piss for the cups of tea they
serve.
Don't be ridiculous I said, then I
tasted it and he has a good point. So
you take stuff bought in the shop on
and it costs more than the flight. Now
cold calling cunts, if you offered me
discount airline food I might be
interested.
Golf
Golf....a good walk ruined as a wise
man said. Nobody that isn't a wanker
plays Golf, the sport of knobheads.
OK all sport is for knobheads to
some degree but Golf is the king. I
am told it is supposed to be a men
only puruit which goes some way to
explain it as all men know that unless
you make your few moments of
escape from the wife as unpleasant
as possible she will want to join in.
So you invent a game so wank no
normal person wants to play, crack
on it's exclusive which means that
those who are so shit at being alive
think they need to do this to be
considered acceptable and price it
accordingly. Then dress like you ran
naked through a rag factory smeared
in glue and have a pitch about
seventeen square miles across and
stop the riff raff using it.
This has not worked, there are lots of
female golfers despite the fact I am
am told Golf stands for Gentlemen
Only, Ladies Forbidden. No, it's
COLF. COLF....
And don't start me on Golf drivers...
The Undateables
The latest excuse to laugh at mongs
and mental incompetents and the
physically deformed whilst passing it
off as entertainment. The cameras
follow people who for one reason or
another can't get laid, and the sort of
people who, 200 years ago, would
have stood in the front row at a
public execution fumbling in their
public execution fumbling in their
trousers, sit on the settee guzzling
crisps and smirking at the likes of
Trevor who looks like George
Formby after seven rounds with
Mike Tyson, likes bicycles, and has
the social skills of David Mellor
without his money attempting to get
his end away. The same sort who
these days work in Airline security
in fact.
Is there nothing the sadistic UK
public won't find amusing?
And here's Anne, a librarian from
High Wycombe who has a face like
a artexed outdoor shithouse and a
figure like Olive Oyl and who in her
desperation to find a partner is
willing to become a national
laughing stock because she's a
virgin at 32 and wants to top herself
because she is so lonely, let's have
a good laugh before clocking on as
a Car Park Attendant.
Fuck me...if they want to laugh
at imbeciles, mongs and those with
peculiar physical deformities, they
did televise the House Of
Commons you know, is that not
enough?
Fox News on Islam
Apparently, according to Fox News
Birmingham is now a totally muslim
city and a no go area for
whites.Yes, OK...
But I know what they mean. It's the
language and the culture, it keeps
English people away. You can't
understand them, it's like a foreign
country. The Muslims agree and
say they can't make head nor tail of
the Brummies either. And they
pressurise you to read the
Kerrang...
