Dunedin is probably as far away from Widnes as it gets! Cheers Jon   Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 85 Registered: 03-2007 Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 02:53 pm:    Jon, Prestwick on the West Coast of Scotland for me. It is a cracking little documentary for anyone with an interest in the label.   Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1060 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 03:45 pm:    Wow, Hugh, thanks for this.

Never mind a desert island, I don't think I could make it through a five-minute chance encounter with the bloke - even if he didn't say a word, I'm sure he'd be sizing me up with his eyes, ticking off all the ways I deviated from his ethos...   Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1061 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - 09:26 pm:    You said it, Allen. I did think it was funny that he seemed so excited about the #1 record by that last band - what? The Headless Chickens or something? - who sounded like a very average 90s pop/rock band, far from the DIY ethos he talked up so strongly throughout the program. The doc was entertaining and educational, though. Nice to see Martin Phillips looking so hale and hearty.
