A. A cow has horns at the front and a twat at the the back!

great miming!

Yep, Julian moved away from Deri (where I grew up) at a very early age. He actually called in at my house in New Road one time, when I wrote to Zoo Records after loving the Sleeping Gas E.P. He signed their first 5 singles that I had .... and I still have them :) If times get hard, there's always eBay :)

I lived in Bargoed Hall in Cardiff Rd in Bargoed for 31yrs up until 1999 and my mum new the Copes from Deri extreamly well.

They're a Liverpool band lad,Cope is Welsh born.

Is that Troy Tate playing the horn? I met him in a pub circa 1985 - he ws managing another band supporting the Lotus Eaters - wonder what he is up to now

@sandprof. Troy Tate was on the second albim Wilder, so I don't think he was on this song. I also met him a few times in the bar I managed in Smithfield/London round about the same time, wonder if we're talking about the same bar.

Nice one TRS. I met him in the George pub before a Lotus Eaters gig at Borough Road circa April 1985. He was the manager for the LE but I did not know who he was TE-wise. My mate was in a band Crucilble Feints and was a bit more in the scene than I
