    Were Gina Dale Haze & the Champions the greatest pop band ever??

    They're greatest hits of 1986 is up there with sgt peppers for groundbreaking musical brilliance, i think they're very much under-appreciated musically

    listen to the deep lyrics and polished musicianship

    Their version of Meatloaf's "Paradise by the dashboard light" was a showstopper, If my memory serves me right.

    I only like bands who have the word 'Lace' in their names, as in 'Paper Lace or 'Black Lace'.
    If the band you are championing were called 'Gina Dale Haze & the Champions plus Lace', then I'd go to the mattresses for them, but alas no 'Lace', therefore they're crap.
    Sorry.

    Ah now Biggins, did you not do the dancehall circuit?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭housetypeb


    No, people would stop dancing to watch them act it out, We were innocent back then.

    The Memories were brilliant, always played great rock numbers. Their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody was fantastic:) As far as I recall they did all the vocal harmonies themselves live, unlike Queen themselves when I saw them in Slane.

    The diddy man was actually a handy singer...



    In other news, Gina has made a tidy living out of this for years, and has a very loyal following. Nothing wrong with that.

    don't forget The Indians

    did you know the apache came from co clare, here's the proof:pac:



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    There's a crowd doing the rounds at the moment called, I kid you not "The Three Amigos."

    One of them is actually American, which is unusual in Irish C&W circles...

    Nothing more Irish than some lad from Monaghan done up in rhinestones and pretending to be from Nashville.
