Tim's new roller-skates

My mate Timothy in Stockport just bought himself some Rollerskates...guess he must have seen that new TV advert for LUCOZADE LITE.....

GOD SAVE THE KING!

Better late than never! Here's some pics from Runcorn Rich of our Royal Bash a couple of weeks back.

It was a celebration of "Britishness" with a monologue, a Crown of Trifle, Michael Fagin-the royal intruder and some British style wrestling!

RULE BRITANNIA.......with THE STAGS!

Bored rigid by the forthcoming Royal Wedding?
...Then get down to THE OCTOPUS at The British Legion for a night of over the top POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE!!!

I'm sure there are lots of things to do on this special day .....but you could do a lot worse than spend it with The Stags, celebrating WHAT MAKES BRITAIN GREAT!!
Everyone attending RULE BRITANNIA...WITH THE STAGS will receive their very own to keep, British Legion commemorative Stags ornamental plate, by Royal appointment to Dennis the Bar-Steward!
Support is from girl-fronted, power-poppers THE STACHES from Geneva, Switzerland....don't know what they will make of all the jelly eating and flag waving!

FRIDAY 29TH APRIL at The British Legion, Wigan
£3.00 ON THE DOOR (including commemorative plate)
Doors open 8.30pm

"God save the King"

Czech coolness.....part two

Three more random 60's clips from the Czech Republic.

First up is the Eastern Bloc answer to Lulu,  Valerie Cizmarova .....singing "Leta Leti". This is a rendition of the song "Moustache a Papa" that my band THE STAGS recorded a version of on the DO THE TON  album.
I'm now confused because our take on it was based on French YE-Ye girl ANNA-BELL's version (from 1971) I thought it was the original.....however this footage looks older than that I'd guess at '68-'69.
 Another interesting fact (to me, anyway) is it was written by Giorgio Moroder.....PAPA OO MOW MOW!!!!

Next up is handsome singer/daredevil Vaclav Neckar. the song is "Hej pane zajici" ...Very entertaining eye candy.....keep an eye out for the reckless, tormenting lion tamer!

Finally, THE GOLDEN KIDS from 1969 live in concert...check out the lucky guy in black's dance moves and the bass player in the band has got some style too!

Czech Coolness..... part one

60's Czechoslovakia is my new Utopia!!
Here's some groovy ads for the city  runaround MZ ETS 250cc.
This was the first road bike I owned. It was actually registered on the log book as a 125cc and I rode it on L-plates and even took my test on it.....folks used to say "that's pretty quick for a 125!".....that's because it was a 250...

STAGS HALLOWEEN DANCE PARTY 2010

expect nothing less than COMPLETE AND UTTER MONSTER LUNACY!!!

JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS 1967

Another HANNA-BARBERA cartoon that had an impact on me.....Even as an 8 year old I knew this was almost identical in format to SCOOBY DOO but with groovy, better looking chicks! There was obviously some tie-in with ARCHIE COMICS too

UGLY BUGS BALL part two

More pics... at the top we got BAMBI LA BEAU performing her "Cleopatra" routine then a bunch of random snaps...the caterers ran out of paper plates so TOPSY STAG ate her hotpot out of a washing up bowl!!

UGLY BUGS BALL......WITH THE STAGS

C'MON AND CRAWL TO THE UGLY BUGS BALL....This Saturday 25th Sept. THE STAGS play The Ugly Bugs Ball in Wigan. For one night only the Royal Oak, Wigan is being transformed into an upside down insect utopia.

It's gonna be a truly bugtastic evening with performances from THE STAGS (with special guest), THE UGLY BUG STOMPERS (17 piece brass band) ALAN ANT (vinyl disc-slipper) and BAMBI LA BEAU (buxotic burlesque dancer)

The Stags Halloween Show 2010.....

Just confirmed a Stags Halloween Party for 2010. I'm excited....we haven't done this for the last 5 years due to not having a suitable venue that would allow us to take the place over and build all our dumb stuff!

I know it's a little early but put this date in your diaries: Friday 29th October at The British Legion, Wigan.

Should be a monumental night with games, dancers, DJ's and a few special guests on the bill too.

Here are a few shots from past Halloween parties 2003-2006

THE STAGS IN THE 'POOL

Same weekend as the Stafford Classic Bike Show but always a great night out!!

The Stags....first show of 2010

Just confirmed!

I can't say too much about this just yet but The Stags are to play a show in Wigan! The date is Friday March 26th.

The event is the SIDEBURN MAGAZINE #5 LAUNCH PARTY!

The Stags are in alliance with a new regular night, ROARING PSYCHEDELIC OCTOPUS, hosted at the British Legion Hall and is hopefully the first of a series of Stags shows in Wigan for 2010.

It's gonna be a 'Cross-Cultural Extravaganza' with some other really cool stuff going on.....I will post full details of the proceedings as they are confirmed.....

Rita Pavone "IL GEGHEGE"

Looking at this song as a potential new Stags cover.
