Thanks to all who participated in the Hippest 100 2012. Full list below.
Congrats to Giles Field (@GilesField), Mat Ward (@MatWard66) & Andy Hazel who all scored five entries apiece. What a result! The number one spot went to the only band that didn’t actually enter. Ironic? Thanks for all the support and retweets, and especially to those who sent in bands. I’m sorry I couldn’t fit everyone in. Take heart. Based on the results, I don’t have to play outside Safeway…but…we have a year to write and record all of these songs. Surely?
I’ll be launching my first book of tour diaries soon so stay tuned.

TINY LEGENDS
Moments that fell down the back of the couch
From Virginia Dooley.
Roughly seven years ago when I was a slimmer, younger version of what I am today, I was walking to work along the boardwalk at Docklands. A middle aged man with white hair ran past me. As he passed he swivelled his head back to check me out. The incident caused him to have a most spectacular fall. I stopped in my tracks, …
