Sounds Like
sounds like.....jumpers...ummm kettle....oh err hairspary...the umm doh i know i know!!! its ummm bush bush baby bush big bush bash bush ummmm no i'm rubbish at charades!
the boy they call brian. he was born. with arms. and legs. and feet. but not at first. to begin with he was a simple hairball from which the features of what is assumed to be human grew forth.
this all happened in 1980. quite a year. in that same year, many many miles away was born a babe named Alex but that's irrelevant (except that he still owes me 12pounds78 and I need it- really next time i see that sukka i'm gonna drop a move on him for sure!...).
so anyway, brian, born to the mother mary, father chris. chris is who he plays guitar with. on these tracks. not his dad. another chris, there's more than one, and this is one of them. chris. he's greek... the three dots are available to hire for musical purposes, and they are quite happy to perform to audiances, honest!!! You can contact brian on 07984115362 for more information or email them at : thethreedots@googlemail.com. you really can! we no lie!

Friday 22 August 10pm-3am The Brasserie of the Royal Pier, Aberystwyth
“A massive hit on the festival scene who practically burst the marquee at the Trowbridge Festival this year” Venue Magazine "Here’s fun music that also makes for great listening - if you can stop yourself from dancing! Brilliant!" Wheaton Aston Festival “High energy and incredible musicality. Worth checking out.” The Living Tradition “Sheelanagig made several dazzling appearences. Each time their set drew more people in, spellbound them with beautiful arrangements then hit the accelerator.” Larmer Tree Festival “Dancefloor mayhem, and an atmosphere that was more party than concert. I can't wait to see them in action again.” Totnes Times “Sheelanagig delighted the audience with their barnstorming fusion of jazz, folk and world music.” The Morning Star

Still open for bands!!! One of Wales’ biggest and newest events, encompassing 2 days, 4 stages, 60 bands, and the capacity for 3000 people! The festival is for charity, with proceeds going partly to help projects in the local community and partly to help young musicians in the area, with advertising, their equipment, etc. The ethos is very much that it is run like a community, so people helping each other out rather to help cut down the exchange of cash. We aim to work with ethical companies, aim to actively promote both welsh music, and environmental issues and solutions. Check it out at www. thesquarefestival. com And get in touch for further details. admin@backbeating.co.uk or theraffle@googlemail.com
Hi Guys, thanks for a great day on Saturday, I really enjoyed the music and your hospitality, can't wait for the next one. Looking forward to seeing you all soon, Steve
