They are quite different. Let me know if so and I'll upload the other.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Ashington girl - please contact us.davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-18714835180751326072008-10-24T19:38:00.000+01:002008-10-24T19:38:00.000+01:00davy H,You are a fuckin' legend.Due to this post I...davy H,<BR/>You are a fuckin' legend.<BR/>Due to this post I have found a song that I have been trying to find for over 20 years.<BR/>In about 1986 on holiday in Polperro I met a girl who gave me a mixtape which was full of northern soul and various indie stuff but no tracklisting, a few months later the tape snapped not long after the girl and i lost touch.There was one song i particularly loved but never found out who it was by until now.<BR/>After downloading the tune on this post, I decided that the Faith Brothers warranted further investigation so went to Billy Franks website downloaded the live and b-sides and lo and behold "The Easter Parade". <BR/>I could kiss you!! <BR/>It's not quite as momentous as i remember but still a great song and an old mystery solved. Now if I could only find that girl's number, she came from Ashington if I rember correctly.<BR/>I am now raising a gin and tonic to you.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-57989970577071415202008-10-24T17:00:00.000+01:002008-10-24T17:00:00.000+01:00Actually, I think I might be ready for a pint of G...Actually, I think I might be ready for a pint of Guinness...davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-8813576538745206992008-10-24T16:53:00.000+01:002008-10-24T16:53:00.000+01:00It's got to be a bottle of IRN BRU (glass bottle o...It's got to be a bottle of IRN BRU (glass bottle only, and chilling in the fridge for at least 8 hrs, we Scots prepare for our hangovers), rolls and lorne (square) sausage and the healing power of soul music, after which you will be alright.<BR/>DrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-76503307700672587612008-10-24T16:20:00.000+01:002008-10-24T16:20:00.000+01:00Aw, get well soon, mate, once I hit my thirties th...Aw, get well soon, mate, once I hit my thirties the hangovers became so unbearable I had to quite drinking for good. It was either that or become a complete alcoholic, and I would have been a crap alcoholic. Oh, and whilst you need water, not really icey cold water, it seems to be worse for a hangover.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243538543550888272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-46831528077534851792008-10-24T15:39:00.000+01:002008-10-24T15:39:00.000+01:00Aaah Dickie, Dickie, dearest Dickie, we would have...Aaah Dickie, Dickie, dearest Dickie, we would have loved to have you there. He didn't do 'Easter Parade', sadly - but a blistering 'Stranger On Homeground' second song in was rather splendid.<BR/><BR/>I shouted for 'Born To Run' because it seemed to fit the general party mood and my earlier request for 'The Tradesman's Entrance' (which clearly didn't) was met with a Franks grimace and a 'Er, maybe later'.<BR/><BR/>I am starting to feel vaguely human again thanks - time the healer, time the revealer, time the destroyer, etc.davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-73358655233617445752008-10-24T15:22:00.000+01:002008-10-24T15:22:00.000+01:00Aaah Davy, Davy, Davy.

(When you're hot 'n' thirsty, wine aint a good move m boy).<BR/><BR/>I've trumpeted The Faith Bros for many a year. (Twas nice to read some of Lee's archives too; if not my rambling comments). Funnily, am listening to 'Country Of The Blind' just now.<BR/><BR/>I think I told you of how Billy Franks kindly sent me CDs of the old n newer stuff when I politely asked him. And it was free - though I did send a donation. It's not too often I get excited about anything these days, but to have the 2 old FB albums again was just great; a different kind of wonderful perhaps! <BR/><BR/>His solo albums 'Genius and Grace' and 'Sex, Laughter and Meditation' albums are well worth a listen.<BR/><BR/>Asking for 'Born To Run' Davy?!<BR/><BR/>Did he do 'Easter Parade'? I may have cried at that point.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the only cure for a hangover I've found ... is time!dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-81296917613631076192008-10-24T15:06:00.000+01:002008-10-24T15:06:00.000+01:00I forgot Lee Hirons was in the band, I think him a...I forgot Lee Hirons was in the band, I think him and his brother Jamie went to my school.
