Gina Dale Haze & the Champions

fryup

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.

Did the audience leave suddenly running and screaming from the a building crying "Someone please stop the pain!" :pac:

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

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.

What about Shaun O Dowd and Ding a Ling?

Shaun is still playing all over the country. Now with Hanora.

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.

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.
