Thanks for posting this up, I heard the Higsons on Peely's radio show, in 82 or 83. He mentioned they were playing in Norwich the next night. I was visiting England and was staying near Crewkerne, Somerset. I drove all night and part of the next day to see them play......I was amazed at how damn good they were.

Ah, Ted .. there you are .. I was, Ted, I was wondering if I might have a word with you .. about .. about the monkeys, Ted, yes the monkeys .. in my .. in my bedroom, Ted .. bit of a nuisance, you see. They shall have to go. And well .. as a matter of fact I thought you might want to come up and .. give me a hand .. I mean .. getting them out -- no, of course not, Ted, silly me .. yes, there's the, ah, the drainage in the lower field, of course. Well I'd better be ... goodbye ..... Ted.

"YEAAA!!"

The Higsons!!

[Flumpyification]

Eww is it weird that i kind of fancy him here??

[CalliopeCarina]

@Flumpyification You're not alone! There is something very alluring about him.... I first saw him on the Fast Show and loved him from then, so then I bought the Higsons album, one of my faves is the cover of Music to Watch Girls By.

[Flumpyification]

@CalliopeCarina I still fancy him now hehe...I love olds! He has nice cheeks

[givacluck]

It's not Charlie Higson. It's Bob Fleming...

[PrincePurple]

These guys made fantastic records, were a great live band, and were a lot of fun. That's three out of three. That puts them in league with The Beatles.

WTF, where is RUN ME DOWN???? One of the best alternative songs of the 80's

[mycroft999]

I've just posted the 7" version on you tube.

[beanxxxx]

great, thanks

highly entertaining punchy sound from a band who were always worth the admission price in the early 80's. plus they were good for a larf over a pint after the sets too, no super-size egos when it came to mixing with us plebs.
