No, not a budget version of Alex's "drink it by the binload" concoction, but Dr Feelgood; one of the best bands ever to come from Canvey Island, are playing The Agincourt; probably Camberley's top rock venue, on Friday. £12

Ok, there's no original (c1970) members, but half have been in over 25 years, so we're not talking about seeing the Sugarbabes here (unf).

They were 'kin excellent! Stiff 30 minute walk there (mini cab didn't show and don't do buses). Slightly longer to get back due to drink and kebab munching.

Had a wee headache this morning - walking's not good for you hehe

For what it's worth...
As a fan of Feelgood from as long as I can remember right up 'til Lee's death, I urge anyone to get along and see Julien Temple's new film, 'Oil City Confidential'.

I saw it at the ICA on Tuesday night (I can't see general release happening, but some arts cinemas should show it) and I was completely blown away.
It doesn't have much live footage, but there is at least one decent DVD available for that. What it is is the incredible story of how four Canvey boys from within 4 streets of each other became the biggest band in England in Summer of 1976......and then fell apart.
It's brilliant.
330 gigs in one year???
THAT'S Rock'n'Roll!!
