Why this name?
it's the name of local pub where we met. but basically, just to lazy to think of anything else
Do you play live?
Play live? Yes. It would be hard to play if your dead.

We'll play anywhere, anytime and we don't care how much you tell us to get off. we've played in a number of pubs and clubs but the Borough Arms is considered our home patch.

the special moment that springs to mind is the first time we played "Freebird". the whole house was jumping. And it was such a change from what we normally do (did).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
in makes it easier to share music. This can't be a bad thing - sharing ideas.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
that would have to depend on the contract. At the moment it's fun (enjoyable), add a contract and some of (if not all) the fun will go, and I don't know if I'd want to continue under those circumstances
Band History:
what history? No-one told me we had a history. Vernon, is that you making up a history?
Your influences?
Floyd (coz) I love 'em. Elvis (coz) I hate 'em.
And everyone else I've ever heard
Favorite spot?
the Borough Arms. Gateshead
Equipment used:
anything we can scrounge (or borrow, or steal)
Anything else...?
Anything goes here (so the title says). Anything goes in our music too. "Chuck it in", someone'll like it, thats our motto.

Motto, Motto, when did we get a motto, Vernon, is that you again?
