This is a local battle for local people

[MK Shrimper]

The local(ish) bands.

Artists that currently come to mind are;

Dr Feelgood
Depeche Mode
Yazoo
Alison Moyet
Kursaal Flyers
My Life Story

A yellow card will be issued to any poster who cites support of our glorious team as a reason to vote! This is about the music!
