“The Meanies — the stuffeth of legend! Big soundeth minstrels of f’rtune, through the humour of age, playing music of the most excellent repute — rocketh, soul, N’rth’rn soul and some bawbling measure of Ska from the 60s, 70s & 80s — grace those folk with thy presence, cometh and dance the night hence. Thee knowst deep it thy heart it maketh sense!”
