[peel] "then on Friday night we went through to The Arches"

[Graeme Anderson]

And as a 36 year old I also think it’s excellent, although brings back painful memories of Scotland – England in Euro 96.

 

I seem to have trouble with Megaupload, so if someone has another way to allow me to upload, let me know. I’d love to hear those songs I first listened to when I was all the way up north in Shetland. The Sweeney sounds familiar, but I’d need to hear it.

Thanks

I love that song. I remember hearing it as an impressionable 14yo on
the Evening Session, Steve Lamacq was a huge supporter, and it was
record of the week for two weeks. I just remember thinking it was the
most magnificently exciting record I'd heard, and I still think so as
a 26yo.
