And of course there is BIG ERTA! ??? 8) Title: Re: Band for 2013 Post by: Grand_Fromage on February 06, 2013, 03:03:08 pm Is the amazing ERTA (or is it IRTA?) still a feature of the funfair? I've never seen her 'in the flesh' so to speak, but I heard from a reliable source (circa 1990) that the shape and colour of her 'assets' put him in mind of twin ski slopes.

I suspect Andy was referring to the Brethrens truck - named after the lady herself....

So we get a pretend version of a sh*t band from the seventies, rather than just a regular sh*t band from the seventies? If i want to watch a pretend sh*t band from the seventies I can go to the working mans club in't village without traipsing to France. I wish they would just get rid of the crap music and but the fair back up that way, thus freeing up some space round the back of the tribunes. The music gets worse year on year.

Title: Re: Band for 2013 Post by: Martini...LB on February 13, 2013, 09:32:42 pm Don't think I have ever seen a band, perhaps from afar not really sure. I even missed that Jammy Choir chap who was supposed to be good. Then again I missed Mustang Sally by that Roly Poly fella, when I think about it I have missed quite a lot including most of the DFH events, but I blame that on having camped at HA for so long which ended up quite depressing with the antics(sp) going on there. MB brightened my life, but most of the mad fun had ended, perhaps some for the better, not sure I would have wanted to be part of the bosphorous triangle or whatever it was called, all a bit smelly and soft under foot. Oh well there is always the potential of excitement this year, Brown Ale Dave might turn up with his french mate again, lovely chap but could not stand still, very tiring to watch, I had to sit down.
