This is a local battle for local people

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Oh, and one of the Pop Guns was from Benfleet if there are any jangle fans out there.

Understand, Neighbourhood Threat, Pheonix Trunk, Marnie, Codine, Foreheads In A Fishtank - all worth a mention from my era. Was a label called Sticky in Leigh on Sea that put out some stuff by great northern bands Meredith and Hood. Just having my own reminise, sorry.

 

[Pubey]

At work the guy I sit next to is Terry Hall's son and he does accounts for Lee Harris and Paul Webb who I understood to both be from Benfleet and Mark Hollis isn't. Put me down for Talk Talk please as they are exceptional.

Squarepusher and Ceephax are brothers......has that been mentioned?

Kinda. :-)

If we're short for the 16 could we get a 2nd nomination? :winking:

 

[Uncle Leo]

Ask him where I can get a copy of his old man's excellent 1994 album 'Home'. I've only got it on tape and said tape is a bit buggered now.

Why? Only 4 heavyweights in this list.

 

[Jam_Man]

Mcfly - Dougie Poynter born in Corringham.
Busted - James Bourne - Rochford.

Doesnt get bigger than them two.

I think you will find Alison Moyet has lost loads of weight

 

[Benfleet A1]

Free Beer and Strippers, the lead guitarist was Ronnie Skates from Benfleet. Most of you would probably never have heard of them but with a name like that they performed to packed houses even if it was under false pretencies.

Can do. Lets hope they're not drawn together :winking:

Why? Only 4 heavyweights in this list.

Because you can't do a knock out competition with 10 :facepalm:

More Rochford than Canvey, I'd say.

Anyway, they're my pick. Family ties and all that.
