What have you been up to for the last 10 years?

Growing up pirat


Have you got your DodgY Reunion Tickets yet and for where?

I went to see them in Shepherd's Empire, London. All the way from the Netherlands. Fortunately, it's not that far. (Fortunately, we flew on Heathrow, but not on Terminal 5.)


What other bands float ya boat?

Uhm... Dodgy is the number 1 band for me. Happy songs, sad songs, they've got them both and both are very very very good!
Other bands I listen to are Thievery Corporation, Michelle Branch, Bluetones, Supernaturals, DJ Sammy, Alisha's Attic, System 7, Nelly Furtado, and millions more. The only music I really don't like is blues, country and hardcore.

Kia Ora from New Zealand!

I've known Andy for a long time - in fact since he woz born... I'm his big sista... he's my little bruva... ah, bless. So, it's pretty obvious that I've been a fan of DodgY since they formed - not that I'm biased..!!

For the last ten years (or more like 16) I've been living the good life in NZ. I'm popping back to the UK this August and my fingers are crossed hoping that there'll be a few gigs for me to get on down to like those happy daze at the Dodgy club in Kingston.

Loadsa Massive Lurve to you all.. mwah sunny

I'm Chris, and I used to go on the website and post as... erm... Chris when I was at Uni.

Seen Dodgy many times since 1995 when my uncle introduced me at the Gosport Festival. Became hooked, and never looked back!!

Highlight of it all for me though was playing Double Bass with Grizzly Bare (brothers' band) at the dodgy club gig in January! Oh, and finding the Black and White single in a music shop in Kingston on 7"!

Happy days!

Erm for the last 10 years I've been waiting for the day lol, I went to Liverpool, then Holmfirth, then finished it all off with a spur of the moment trip to Manchester twas a fantastic couple of weeks!!

Other bands that float my boat are Jeff Lewis, SFA, Talking Heads, The Kinks, The Beatles, Steely Dan... aw hell lets be honest, the list varied and is endless!!!!

I guess since I joined the forum in Mar and rudely didn't introduce myself I'm like one of those geezers at parties who everyone thinks must be someone else's mate.

I'm Dom, I can't remember how I first got into Dodgy, or rather how I came across the first album. No-one else had heard of it at the time and they thought I bought it just because I used the word dodgy quite a lot! I didn't do gigs in those days 'cos the then missus didn't get out much so I missed out on the outdoors during the 90s. I loved Cold Tea straight away and the first album in total always takes me right back to 1994/5 when I was a little more part of the yoot an ting than I am now. Enjoyed the subsequent albums too so got hooked enough to be gutted when I heard about the split, and still some people I knew didn't know who the boys were. So Let Me Go Far and In A Room are still quintessentially classic 90s tracks and always worth a play no matter what the day and enjoyed being all cosmopolitan with Faisons Les Mieux. Maybe I'm just a ponce at heart, I'm 36 I can admit to it now!

In the last 10 years I have gone greyer and got middle-aged spread of almost sumo proportions! I also have responsibilities, two of them, ie little folk who eat all the food and parasitically sap your energy. The next generation of Dodgy fans is already well under way.

I like various other music, enjoying the renaissance of indie, s'like being young again, I am apparently more down wid da kids than the kids but this could be to do with my lowering centre of gravity. It'll pass the electronic retro a la Joy Division is already turning into more poppy stuff so we might have to live through retro Wham and stuff yet and then I can have a good moan about the good old days! I like Zeppelin, I like them a lot, I'm quite fanatical about them and no I did not bloody get tickets to the O2 and the bastards did it on my birthday to kick a man when he is down, I'm not bitter just best not to bring the subject up! Like shoegaze stuff Ride, MBV etc. African rock music, John Coltrane on a Sunday and Desmond Dekker on an August Bank Holiday. All sorts really, well when you get into your 30s if it sounds tidy who gives a toss about image?

Oh and I like Fulham, because someone has to and when you're born in Chelsea and not a right-wing nut job there isnt a lot of choice!

Did I mention I tend not to shut up when I'm on a roll? Sorry!

albino Salut! was brung here by Miss chappers! I'm American (but don't hold it against me)....other bands I like: too many to mention. Quite into David Ford and Stephen Fretwell xx

I'm an accountant, have a beautiful teenage daughter and a lovely boyfriend. I spend far too much money on clothes, bags and shoes. SJP is my style icon!

I grew up all over the world, mainly France and the USA. I fiercely support Manchester United, unapologetically. I'm addicted to Top Gear ad have recently discovered The Sunday Night project. I want Alan Carr as my pet Wink

If you desire to know anymore....just ask!
