BANDS

My brother played a charity golf match with two of the Grumbleweeds - the short one and the tall bearded one. While my brother and the tall one were looking for a lost ball, the other guy took a shot and hit his bandmate on the head. The following day, my brother was having a pint with the injured Grumbleweed, when the latter's mobile received a text message. It simply said, "Fore!"

Nice one Si.The Grumbleweeds were regularly on 'Tiswas' years agoI can remember one of them doing a Jimmy Saville impression,it sounded better than the man himself.

David Coverdale was from Saltburn-By-The-Sea (near Whitby), don't think any of the rest of them were from Leeds.Oh, and Motorhead drummer Philthy Animal Taylor grew up in Leeds.
