Stella Street is still brilliant It's a shame that John Sessions is a UKIP supporter though.
Stella Street was ace.
I like a good impersonator, problem is though once they get famous then the pressure is for them to do more voices which end up not working like what happened to Yarwood. He was brilliant with his core work as he got the mannerisms off to a T, once he got the BBC series though and had to add more voices as others have pointed out they all sounded the same as his normal voice.
Was saying to someone the other day about how I was wondering when HMV would be going into administration and the 'store closing' signs would be erected.
Went in the first time for a few weeks, this aft. The 'store closing' signs have been erected. Had a sad inner laugh about it ("I was only just saying, wasn't I?!").
R.I.P., HMV Leeds. I remembered when you first opened 25yrs ago and I bought my very first jazz-funk-fusion album for £1.99 in your opening sale (Weather Report's 'Heavy Weather', btw). I remember in '07 when you were shifting craploads of super-obscure PAL PS2 games at stoopid, peanuts prices. Getting two copies of "Mixed Up In The Hague Volume 1" at 99p in a 2002, listening to one for months and getting £150 on ebay for the other (a few years later). Aaaaah. It used to be great. Almost as good as Borders.
But it's been rubbish for ages. There are usually more staff than patrons. I just hope there's a replacement for it, not many places to get new music in Leeds now, bar a coupla very small places, Poundland and chazza shops. I hope it returns with a more bargain basement format, it's clear they'll never shift 99% of their stock at the prices they charge.
Couldn't get tickets for Bears London game in October. Website & mobile app ran basically overrun within seconds.
Grr....
Shame, just had a look and tickets are available but perhaps not the ones you want.
Anyway, my moan is that I've love to see the B52s on their last tour, they are in Manchester next week, so am I with work but I have to be at work for the late and night shift so can't go.
