Why “The Shedmen”? We used to rehearse in a shed - yes… we used to rehearse and everything!
Why do you play Hard-fi’s “Cash Machine”? Not anymore, your question should be, “Why do you play Hard-fi’s Suburban Knights?”
Why do you play Hard-fi’s “Suburban Knights”? Because we dropped Hard-fi’s “Cash Machine”
What’s with “Rooftops” by The Lost Prophets? Jimmy loves them - and it’s a helluva record!
Why don’t you play more of your own songs? We want people to like us
What’s behind the Eddy Grant Tribute? Eddy Grant, obviously. If you play the 4 chords, being Eb, Bb, Cm, Ab, you can put any Eddy Grant song over it… even “Do you feel my love”
What’s the point? Fun and laughter
Why are you so keen to get people to come up on stage and do a turn? A) We get tired quick B) There are lots of people out there far more naturally talented than us C) It’s great fun - what better karaoke backing than a live band?
You seem to have substitute players now and again, what’s that all about? True enough Sean has a protégé in CLF who will cover for him if he is off island. Jimmy will have a temporary substitute whilst he does his stint in Africa. As for Stewie and Boz - it’s only a matter of time. Ultimately, our dream is that The Shedmen live on, with only tribute members playing for us.
Have you met any celebrities? Yes, we did a support slot for Hugh Cornwell in 2005, Andy Fordham, the darts player was spotted in the audience once, and Andy Kershaw was at one of our gigs and lasted until part way through the second set
Why do we do it? A question we always ask ourselves after a gig when we have all the gear to pack up - particularly when it is raining
Why did you come here? Ask Morrissey
Where have I seen you before? We have been around for 16 years, so most places
Do you keep in touch with the ex-members of the band? We barely keep in touch with existing members of the band
How can I avoid seeing you again? Avoid pubs that play live music, and don’t go to any parties where there is a “lively band playing punk classics” booked
When will you retire, and why isn’t it sooner? Any day now, but we keep getting invited back |
