Mark & Lard, 'hello Mrs X, is your y coming out to play?

[Gary C]

Damn

10 pence short.

I’ve heard that as the first show sold out so quickly with so much interest, a national tour in late 2024 is being planned…

It might well be! It was a long time ago.

That would be good. I was doing a lot of driving for work from 2002, so having them on the radio in the afternoon was a real highlight.

Never thought these two would get back together-is the Live To Your Living Room something you can download?

I used to love Mark and Lard.
Just listened to 10 mins and just got bored. A little repetitive and annoying. Did not smile once.

Maybe it is me.

Am going through a phase of listening to old CDs one by one and found this.



Most of it is quite, but not very funny but Riley doing Sh*t Agent is brilliant.

Our tastes change - what I thought was hilarious in my late teens / early twenties is very different to what I now find funny in my early forties, especially the 'wacky' humour like Mark & Lard.

I made the mistake of popping a Shirehorses tape into the player in my Alfa 33 sometime in the 90s, whilst driving down a a busy 3-lane A road in rush hour, not having heard the songs before.

On came the song "Ugly Bleeder"...

"I pulled a wench
Despite my stench
She had a face just like a welder's bench..."

I laughed so hard I damn near ruptured my spleen, or something important around there anyway. I was fortunate to be able to get the car into a side road through my convulsions and tears of laughter, so I could get it out of my system and calm down. I genuinely don't think I ever laughed so hard at anything in my entire life.

I can still sing the entire 'Ballad of Franny Lee' from memory to this day.
