Like it, as Doc mentioned, I can hear a bit of a Lennon / Beatles influence, for me it's in the guitar and vocals.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Nov 2021, 5:37amOkay let's try another track then.

Re: The Great Thread of YouTube Magnificence!
Well both bands have their roots in Mersey Beat. Badfinger were The Iveys originally and Rockin' Horse members were in Kirkby and The 23rd Turnoff.WestwayKid wrote: ↑05 Nov 2021, 12:16pmI can also hear Badfinger.Sparky wrote: ↑05 Nov 2021, 11:12amLike it, as Doc mentioned, I can hear a bit of a Lennon / Beatles influence, for me it's in the guitar and vocals.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Nov 2021, 5:37amOkay let's try another track then.

The LADbible TV "Minutes with..." series is really good.
I've watched the drug smuggler one, the gangster one, and they are superb.
I'll be going back for more.
