Great moments in pop!

Last Friday, Jo & I and some friends went to what can only be described as a 'Great Moment in Pop!' (with thanks to Mark and Lard).

The opening AND closing night of the Amateur Transplants world tour! The who....... exactly. A quick search of Youtube will provide you with an answer but if you cast your memory back a year or so, they 'released' a song called the London Underground' which did the emails rounds. A catchy little number!

Anyway, they were in Wellington for a conference (they are both still doctors!) and it would appear that the NHS doesn't pay for flights around the world for its consultants to attend such conferences, so they packed out the medical school lecture theatre. The show itself was excellent, with many of the songs being short, medical related and of an adult theme. The songs are also by and large their own versions of more famous songs, e.g. James' Sit Down had been turned into OCD! Personally it just reinforces my view that doctors have twisted minds.

Incidentally, there are no plans repeat their world tour, ever...............
