Take That

Posted in Music at 12:43 pm by alby

Years ago I was walking through the city streets in Newcastle. I got to the Virgin Megastore to see an huge crowd of folk hanging around. I asked someone to tell me what was going on.

We’re waiting to see Take That.

said the spotty oik. Well at that time I’d never heard of them. Shows what I know.

Yesterday I cycled to work through the city centre here and saw an huge crowd outside HMV, at 8am. I didn’t fancy stopping so zoomed past and on to work.

After work I was off up to the uni for my german class and at DMH there was another huge queue of folk. Still didn’t stop to ask and wasn’t interested beyond “Oh there’s a queue”. Just read in the local rag that it was all about another new and thrusting young band. This time called “Paramore”. Never heard of them either.

No doubt they’ll go far.

Have fun.

    I doubt they’ll go far. If I remember correctly Darren owns one of their albums. Not a ringing endorsement.

    Not strictly true, I own 2 of their albums. And they’re superb ! Didn’t realise that they were on until I spotted an advert in HMV and by that point it had completely sold out !

    I think that they’re a bit too musical for your tastes though !
