One foot in Snowdonia, other in Liverpool.
We've been going to album launches and they're brilliant. It may not be a full set, but getting to see bands you really like in an intimate venue and taking home the CD has been a boon to our social life.

It paints such a vivid scene. Masterful stuff. This is going to resonate with a lot of people at the moment.

The Undertones, Julie Ocean, 1981
Such a lovely tune. Maybe should have been higher in the list?

I think this was probably the track that turned me into an ABBA fan.

The Undertones, Hard Luck, 1980
Last minute swerve. Was going to post Hypnotised but decided on this 70's glam rock inspired track instead from the same LP.
Also, first time I've posted the current line up live.

Like an updated David Watts. But better.

I thought you'd start with early, catchy songs & progress to later, sophisticated tracks, but I realised when compiling my Undertones list it's not that linear or easy!

It never occurred to me when I was growing up but now think there are some lyrics they'd 'reconsider' if writing today.

Love the 1960's vibe of this song. And it's great live (I'll probably be saying that a lot).

They've added another date for Venue Cymru, Llandudno, but I'm guessing it's going to be just as hard on Friday

Is that your fave, Ian? Mine's "All of my heart" because of 'that' pause but I knew from the start what Simon's no 1 would be. If only Ladbroke's would have taken my bet π
