Blog2016 ≫ Twenty years ago today I was at Mike Flowers Pops

See, they weren't all classics. Mike Flowers Pops were a spoof band, they did an easy listening version of Oasis' Wonderwall, and that's it. I heard that in a previous incarnation they were A Tribe Of Toffs who did John Kettley Is A Weatherman but there's no mention of that on Wikipedia which is surely the source of all fact.

This was a Portsmouth Venue Campaign show. I didn't pay to go, I would have been handing out flyers or taking tickets or something. The BBC were there trying to report live from the show for some reason. They were calling in on a satellite phone, or trying to, but it wouldn't work, so they reported in using the payphone in the lobby of the Pyramid Centre.

I think I also have a ticket or a poster or something that says Shed Seven was on this night. One or other of the dates must be wrong. I know I was definitely at Mike Flowers Pops
