(9) The Allergies (featuring Andy Cooper) – Rock Rock

 I still love to watch this video so do click on that link above to refresh your memories of how full of life it truly is. I was over in Stockholm in May and insisted on playing it time and time again whilst a good friend, Liam (and myself) got drunk on quality red wine. It might have been in our imagination but I think we managed to rap along with the words. 

The Allergies (and Andy Cooper) play at Craig Charles’ funk and soul extravaganza on New Years Eve and then at a fine looking NYD party in Bristol. They’ve done radio sessions for Dermot O’Leary and, somewhat astonishingly, a session on Radio 4 where they got to meet Petula Clark ( and mixed one of her songs into a piece they played). True talents and surely exciting 2017’s in store.
