Not really punks, of course, but a cut above the usual dross to be found on the show. Their TOTP appearances were always memorable, although perhaps not as memorable as the time they brought the strippers on for Nice N' Sleazy at the Glasgow Apollo.Gey Blabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574046212154188903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176232028550764413.post-48568035216231418372012-06-29T23:04:57.156+01:002012-06-29T23:04:57.156+01:00Ooh I do remember that Wurzels track.
