Re: Bad Manners

They made the most fun videos along with Madness. It did kind of bother me the one where they fall off into the water holding their instruments though... I'm imagining the guitars and horns being ruined. Hope it wasn't salt water at least. I used to love Lip Up Fatty and Inner London Violence on the Dance Craze soundtrack album! Another favorite was their take on Teddy Bear's Picnic (with a lot 'Oi's added)!

I hope people never thought Buster with his bald head and braces was a 'skin' in the NF sense. The ska scene in England goes way back to the '60s and there were even some black skins and suedeheads.

Re: Bad Manners

A mate of mine used to play for them sometimes when their regular saxophonist was off. His mate was the trombone player, that's how he got in.

Some of them were teachers so they built their studio at a school, so it was not only tax relief but the kids could use it during the day. Buster had a hotel for a while on the coast called "fatty towers" where you could stay for free if over a certain weight, that went bust. I saw them live when they came out here the other year, such a tight band.

Their video "walking in the sunshine" which happens to be my favourite of theirs, is filmed in Southend on Sea.
