Terry Garoghan - what's he up to nowadays?

[Buzzer]

Haven't heard of him in years and years. Now there is a genuinely funny and clever chap. Someone who has/had the full measure of what Brighton's all about.

Dunno. I have the cds somewhere - must dig them out.
This always comes to mind when I venture West:

Class.

Terry Garoghan's last bus to Whitehawk was just about the only thing worth listening to on Southern FM/sound at the time.

 

[Mr Banana]

I've had that song on a loop in my head ever since moving to Porkslade.

He was writing for The Argus until about a year ago

[Gary Hart's Stalker]

How funny you should post this now. I started singing "you are in Rottingdean" this morning! Must dig the CDs out!

Portslade it's paradise,
**** off no one ever goes there twice......

I saw him do a gig at the Komedia a couple of years ago, and it was all Introspective acoustic guitar songs.

No comedy!

**** off baldy!

Bring back the Crocodile Comedy Club!

Never liked his stuff but I don't like comedy songs. Anywho, that's by the beside. He used to come into Virgin when I worked there in the late 90's/early 00's to drop off or pick up his "sale or return" cd's. He used to swan in like he was some VIP, ignore staff insist on seeing the manager when any one of us could have handed him back his box of unsold CD's.
I remeber him being particularly put out when he was told he'd have to head off now as a band (possibly Black Grape) were doing an instore.
I'm sure he was perfectly pleasant, just had ideas above his station I think. Anyway, I imagine comedy songs about very specific parts of a specific county only have a certain shelf life and that's probably why nobody has heard of him for ages. Can't say I miss his music.

That was me! He was pissed off that I got one of the biggest laughs of the evening

Haven't seen you post in ages and then bamm back with a bang, great stuff!

Then you'll enjoy this: I'm not sure he's perfectly pleasant. He always struck me as a bit of a ****.

Difficult second album?

 

[Badger]

He had some quality songs about Brighton. I think the best 2 have been posted, but I also enjoyed:





"I don't drink coffee, I drink Nescafe. I like my toast done in a toaster"
