There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Another group who played locally in the 80's were The Touch. Seem to think they did the theme song for a series on telly, but can't remember what it was now.

Anyone remember Dave Lloyd's band Hijinx?

Mixies Men are still going albeit very occasionally, and Cat Scratch Fever have recently played a few gigs with the original line up!

How about Sound of Guns!

Half Man Half Biscuit are still going strong. They are very big in Scotland for some reason. Blackie can be seen cycling the lanes of Wirral with Denise. He is a legend.

It is difficult to get a following if you play original music because there are very few decent venues around to play. Some of the writing talent in the Wirral is amazing. Check out "The Vivid Hollow". Two of the band (the lead guitarist and the drummer) are Wirral-based and responsible for a great deal of the writing along with the other three members of this female-fronted band. They are all amazingly talented individuals (average age only 22) who have a great chemistry as a band. They are appearing live at the Krazy House in Liverpool next month. Be there-or be square!! :-)
