Laid watching them on a sunny afternoon whilst most people were tucked up in tents sleeping off their hangovers!

Other than he must be chummy with the producers or something.

The Third Time We Opened the Capsule goes down in indie lore as an undisputed classic of course.

I must admit that although i stuck with SMTV Live most of the time, i did cheat on it somewhat, as i’d find myself watching Live and Kicking, if any of my fave bands were on. Blame it on the bands. lol. *shrugs* I would only switch over and watch The Saturday Show to see Simon Grant’s face. Boy, he was handsome . Remember when Fearne Cotton used to present The Disney Club on ITV? I think it was meant to be a british take on America’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’.
