    One of the lads in the platoon I was in had a grainy copy of this on a cassette back in my Army days (before the internet). We used to love playing it. Great memories.

    Broken Flowers - "I saw a light" about the Huskar Pit disaster in 1838 near Silkstone, when 26 child workers were drowned in a flash flood. The two youngest were the great great great uncles of the bands singer. The Band are playing at Wentworth Festival tomorrow.

    I actually thought I'd never hear it again when I came out of the Army but a few years later the internet really took off and there it was in all its glory.

    Sunday Bloody Sunday. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all theSunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!"

    I saw that on two tours. I'm not that convinced by Bono since then. I think he had a big influence early days. Feathering his nest now.
