hi rick, i guess you didn't see my shout in black. i don't think there's a site...they last recorded in the 70's and then disbanded. i can scan you the pics off the cd materials though, if you like. send me your email. (and if you're wondering if the vocalist is female, he's not :p )

Re: druid site?
 

Mossy is right. The vocalist is a chap called Dane (no last name from what I remember) and is HUGE!!!!!

The band won a sort of Talent competition on a UK rock music show from the 70s called "The old grey whistle test" fronted by the wonderful, and still working, "Whispering Bob Harris". That show was responsible for bringing many acts to the public eye probably as much, if not more, than the now deceased DJ John Peel. There are DVDs around showing various performances from the show but Druid are not among them I'm afraid.

What an interesting history lesson!

Re: druid site?
 

Well Avian,

Here's another piece of totally useless information about Druid.

Both the drummer (Cedric Sharpley) and the keyboardist (Andrew McCrorie-Shand) are excellent musicians, which may explain why they're also the two who have had detectable musical careers since Druid: the former in Gary Numan's band and the latter, oddly enough, as the composer for the "Teletubbies" show. The Teletubbies may not be too familiar to our non-UK friends but to us Brits they are a constant source of amusement (or is it just me?). Very odd program indeed.

Explore the rest of the site. You might just love it!!!! :)

I know of these Teletubbies... strange... very strange!

I did watch the closing credit at one time to see Andrew's name in the credits listing. Sure enough, it's there.

Tinky-Winky is supposedly a symbol of the gay community (don't shoot the messenger here). This is also appliciable to the very funny Sponge Bob.

Speaking of amusement, how about the Wiggles?

Well!!!!

Tinky Winky is purple and has a triangle aerial on his head. He's not just the biggest Teletubby, but also very gentle. His favorite thing is his red bag. Tinky Winky loves walking, marching, dancing and falling over. He has a special song which he loves to sing to himself, "Pinkle winkle, Tinky Winky, pinkle winkle, Tinky Winky." Tinky Winky loves big hugs.

Hey!!!!! This must be a first!!!!!!!!!

A thread that has moved into a TeleTubbies theme and not Kings - Bloody- X.

A miracle.

Re: druid site?
 

Doug Pinnick of King's X is gay.:dogpile:

However, none of them are teletubbies.

Re: druid site?
 

rick, sent the pics to your hotmail. let me know if you don't get them.

Oh yes. The Teletubbies.

After I had my back surgery, I was off for about six weeks (this was pre-Dot-Discovers-Moon). I would always fall asleep to the local PBS station's playing of classical (or Jass, on Saturdays). The TV would still be on when I woke. At 7am. To the wonderful strains of the Teletubbies.

The morning's Morphine would be kicking in just as baby sun would start rising.

Talk about surreal entertainment.

Anyway, I would watch them do their little dances, and watch as the busses or boats or whatever they were featuring that day would entertain those lovable lugs, up until that loudspeaker would come bubbling up from the ground to anounce "Time for tubby bye bye!"

Three times.

That's when I'd start searching for the remote, since the next show would be Barney and Friends, and no amount of Morphine Sulphate would make that palatable.

Trust me on this.

Roger -Dot- Lee, time for tubby bye bye!
