STORY SO FAR...........
2002........Recorded 'We're Really Gonna Win' a revamp of the Vapours 'Turning Japanese' with Terry Dean under the name 'Flat Back Four'. Got airplay on various Radio competitions around at the time and also entered into SKY SPORTS competition finishing 3rd whilst beating 'Ant & Dec'.
2005
Decided to do another World Cup song and started earlier this time. More urgency and importance this time as we decided to do the whole thing for charity. We wanted to raise as much cash as possible for Macmillan Cancer Care . Wilsky gets the idea early in 2005 to record our own version of Sham's 'Hurry Up Harry' renaming it 'Hurry Up England' keeping the hook 'We're going down the pub'. We like it, we like pubs.
Then later on in 2005 we met Matty Morris a Producer from Romford who was willing to record us for nothing, aswel as play the keyboard.
2006
We got the o.k. to cover Sham69's 'Hurry Up Harry' direct from Mr Pursey and went ahead only to hear a while later the very same Mr Pursey on Virgin radio promoting his new song 'Hurry Up England'. He said he got the idea from listening to Christian O'Connels breakfast show. O.K. THEN !
We met up with Sham69 for 'clear the air' talks in London's Soho. Jimmy wanted to meet us in Ed's Diner for a milkshake,.... we met in the pub over the road. We was offered a deal and rejected it, we was after making more than £200 for the charity. After much chat and deliberating (drinking) we wished Sham and Virgin all the best and decided to carry on, realease the song, make a video and gig as much as we could. Still with the one goal, raise money for Macmillan .
Summer 2006......The World Cup
Played various pubs and clubs. Highlights were The Crown in Romford,
The Prince Consort in Southampton
Create Your Own
and The Circus Tavern in Purfleet.
Radio stuff and all that. Good fun had by all. Shame England were so shit in the World Cup. Never mind, always the Euros... mmmm?? Another song................??
Thanks to everyone who helped us achieve this. All the time and money and skill was all appriciated..........YOU RULE ! !
2007
Busy doing other projects. Still getting money in for Macmillan through various sources and the song is still available to download from itunes. Thank you.
