Wunderbar I say

For "Wunderbar" and "Songs Of A Thousand Men" alone, absolute classics.

I put "Wunderbar" on a mix tape for a friend of mine a couple of years ago, and his wife threw it back to me a week or two later, furiously suggesting that the track in question was a "Nazi skinhead anthem,...keep that shitty filth to yourself!" I laughed....and am still laughing, actually.

Eddie Tudorpole presented a challenge show on UK TV called The Crystal Maze (replacing Rocky Horror writer / star Richard O'Brien fwiw) for a while. Does the odd bit-part on TV (I'm sure I saw him in something very recently but my memory's refusing to share the secret with me).

Still gigs / tours as / with Tenpole Tudor very occasionally - I've seen him a couple of times at punk festivals over the last few years.

Most memorably, at one of these events, the audience was gleefully singing along to "Swords Of A Thousand Men" with the slightly amended lyric:
"Hoorah, hoorah hoorah yeah
Over the hill and presenting The Crystal Maze"!

Weex! He's still around - there was an advert for a Tenpole Tudor gig at the arts centre in Fareham where HSA is doing his latest installation..

"Swords of a Thousand Men" is aces, as is "Wunderbar". So, classic all the way.

I took such a slagging for playing swords of a Thousand Men out the other week...

I also love "Go Wilder" and "There Are Boys", although, by the time that first album gets down to "Three Bells in a Row", I've had enough of Ed.
