Brighton - "The Musical"

[yorkshire seagull]

Hi

A mate of mine lent me a CD with loads of songs related to the Brighton area to the tune of famous tracks - does anyone have any idea who it was by? or where I could get the original CD from?

From listening to it, it seems like the singer is called Terry, but I can't be too sure...

Some of the songs are....

Western Road (to the tune of West End Girls)
I'm not in Hove (I'm not in love)
Five Ways (My Way)
Kemp Town (Downtown)
Seven Dials (Baggy Trousers)


it might sound a bit lame, but it's bloody excellent....

Cheers

Various mainstream outlets sell his stuff, which is bloody genius.

"Watch me walk down Wilson Avenue,
VCR just came my way ...
'You can have it, yours for fifty quid,
Tell the cops, and you won't ride a bike again' ...

Whoa-hoh, I'm in property, other people's property,
I'm a businessman in Whitehawk ...
Whoa-hoh, I'm an Osteopath, Nah f*** it, I'm a pyschopath,
I'm a businessman in Whitehawk ..."

(to Englishman in NY, unsuprisingly)

Magic ...

Top work lads - I think the stuff is excellent - lovely song about BHA's homelessness on the CD as well...

Virgin Megastore in Churchill Square sold a couple of the CD's a few months ago. Not sure if they still do though.

Probably not if they only sold a couple.

Seen it live about 4 times. I love it. Marvellous scenes last time I went at the Dome.

He was on stage giong on about how anyone from the north wouldn't understand the show because it was all about Brighton/Sussex, then asked if any one from oop north was in the audience.

Bloke in audience: "Yeah I am mate"
Terry: "Really? Where are you from"
Bloke in audience: "Hassocks"

Brought the house down

I was there! That was a classic moment. That show was in April, I know because I took Mrs Brovian for her birthday treat. So many great adaptions, but unless I'm wrong he didn't do the 10cc classic "I'm not in Hove"?

Living in Fiveways I liked "They called it Fiveways" (to the tune of 'My Way'), but we like to refer to ourselves as 'the new Kemptown'.

I wonder if Terry reads NSC?
