Hey Jim (slaphead)

You know a lot of the welsh bands like Sassfaras, Budgie, Man etc,

But have you ever, or do you remember a band called "Red Beans And Rice", or "Racing Cars" or "Badfinger" good bands,

Badfinger was one of my favorite's, but they got ripped off badly by bad management, and money troubles with the Beatles Abbey road,
resulting in two suicides.

Hey cofi

My wife's dad came from Pontypool, so I suppose the Welsh connection is in-bred.

We first saw Sassafras at Bold Street Working Men's Club in Accrington, a good source of up-coming bands in the 70's.

Afterwards, we saw bands such as Strife, Snafu and George Hatcher.

John Thomas of The George Hatcher Band also played with Budgie.

Ther was a Rochdale band we use to go and see called The Three Fat Bastards.

The Racing Cars are playing with Sassafras at The Point Cardiff 23th February 2008.
