funnily enough, in the 80s, nobody would have considered him, or this music, gay. In live performance, the Machinations could be a very aggressive, muscular type of band. I always remembered thinking that fred Loneragan looked like he was going to punch someones head in. Generation Y needs to get over themselves and stop referring to stuff they dont understand as "gay"

@SuperPlatty guitarist Tim Doyle will shout you a ticket and a t-shirt if you fly over

[yomay1969]

@SuperPlatty Almost a third of the tix have sold based on word of mouth, social media and the sign out the front of the pub. Full scale advertising will start in the next 2 weeks and we expect the last two thirds to go pretty quick.
