Grasping at composure

We were talking about music, were we not?

I've been mainlining Stackridge these past few weeks, cycling round their albums over and over again. A unique band, thoroughly British, thoroughly bonkers and thoroughly brilliant. They've chopped and changed their line-up over the years, with various people leaving and/or coming back, so there must have been personal tensions within the group, and they had their positively last hurrah some time last year. There's a live DVD, The Forbidden City, which shows off some of the best of their material, though you do wonder, watching some of them singing, if they're not liable to do themselves a mischief trying to hit those notes at their age. Still, I should talk.

Here's a video from 1974: https://youtu.be/Pe_GUseMRmg

And another from said DVD: https://youtu.be/bbmiLWTfUqs

And an album track to finish off with: https://youtu.be/kq-zFh8mw2U?list=PL6EEDE6EE2F3C246E

That's better. By Jove, I needed that.
