Another I-Pod shuffle thread

We had similar at Neil Young in Hyde Park last year. Lots of good bands on before Neil, but loads of agressive old hippies had staked out their scuzzy blankets down the front at 6am or something and they weren't moving or standing up until Mr Young arrived. Several scuffles ensued.
 
My mother-in-law lives in Moseley (although it would be hilarious if she ever ventured to the folk festival). It's that kind of place isn't it. I don't think I'd fit in there even with my hipster* beard.


*Some may say it's actually shit and ginger. They are lying.
 
The Prince of Wales is a FANTASTIC pub though.
 
It is indeed. All joking aside, I actually really like Moseley when we visit the in-laws. I'd happily live there if it wasn't as million miles out of my price range.
 
Folk music, really? Folk off more like.
 
A bit dismissive for you there mate? Folk music is awesome and it's not just a guy with an accordion singing Whiskey in the Jar.
 
Too twee for my liking. Plus I don't wear sandals or drink real ale.

A bit like saying all football fans are utter scumbags who go out looking for a fight but each to their own.
 
You know me, I love a sweeping generalisation. Plus it was an easy joke, double win.

To be fair to Deutsch - my Dad sings Geordie folk songs in pubs, drinks real ale and wears sandals. I think he nailed it :icon_lol:
 
Langers would definitely have been a hippie if he had been born in the late 40s.

Well yeah, so does my dad but that's not the point :icon_lol: (luckily I only inherited the ale part).

Send the Buggers back?

:icon_lol: Hopefully he's less offensive than that.

I actually have a review of one of his performances at the Newhampton:

It kicked off with Graeme Kent who pulled the packed audience in on the act straight away with a fun number, Don't Jump Off the Roof Dad, which many of a certain age will remember from Junior Choice on Radio 1 with Ed "Stewpot" Stewart.The irreverent song was made a hit by, of all people the legendary comedian Tommy Cooper.
Kent wasn’t about to let the audience off the hook too soon and kept them joining in with the much recorded Singing the Blues. He then gave the audience a breather with The Old Pub which he sang A Capella and was a lament of the loss of so many traditional alehouses.
His next ditty was from his home patch up in the North East which was Newcastle & Gateshead and was a light song friendly song littered with local references about the cultures and friendly rivalry of living either side of a river.
Going back to the traditional themes Sandgate Girl's Lament was again sung unaccompanied and told about love going awry.

Deutsch would have loved it.
 
I can't believe you didn't tell me it was on.
 
I'll get you a ticket next time. I'll see if I can get a pint of real ale thrown in for you too. Bring your best sandals.
 
Oi, he invited me.

My beard growing efforts are appalling so I would stick out like George W Bush at a peace rally. Although going somewhere where I am automatically the coolest person by a mile does appeal.
 
Did anyone see Uncle on BB3 last night? There was a brilliant scene where the main dude (I forget his name) was ripping it into a bunch of neo-folksy hipsters.
