We saw it this morning, and it was recommended to me by an Australian who came in my pub a few days the other week. I think I'll go back to Bern one day, see it properly, because I didn't do the funicular either, and I love a funicular.

There can never be too many Mott references on OTF. I offer the panel a few facts and invite you to draw conclusions:
1 the young Theresa May's best mate at Oxford University was another future politician, Benazir Bhutto. Let's hope Terri's end isn't similarly violent...
2 Probably with this in mind, Benazir didn't worry about student politics. Her father, Zulfikar, also served as Pakistani PM before being overthrown by the Army and later hanged. Instead, young BB was a keen follower of the Herefordshire rockers and ran their fan club for a time
3 One of the band's best-loved songs 'Born late '58' refers an under-age groupie
As for the Quo, not ALL of their songs have only 2 or 3 chords, according to my Teach Yourself Ukebook
PS Mott vocalist Ian Hunter (aged 80) still gigs occasionally in his hometown Oswestry. Haircut hasn't changed significantly since days of chart stardom (see also Timothy B Schmidt, Brian May, Cosmo Clifford etc)Last edited by Duncan Gardner; 21-09-2018, 10:18.
