I remember ATR saying he'd seen them live (I think) 49 times WITH the other lead singer.
I didn't even know they'd HAD another lead singer!
FORTY-NINE!
Er, or was it 43?!
Am I allowed to say that from time to time Alex really scares me?
Is that OK?
It's fine, but does that mean by proxy you are also scared of "son of Alex" because that is NOT ok

What ya call that song....this is how it feels?
Me and me mate Iain wrote the exact same organ riff (and recorded it I might add) about 3 months before that came out...spooky moment....bit like NT on NO story saying NO trumped them on BM.
Can't see me making the gig tho, unless they DO tour and visit my little backwater.
Think they played the Limelight a couple of years ago as part of the Greatest Hits/Final Tour or whatever it was. So you never know Cambo.
Excellent band and loads better singles than The Charlatans; whom I always got them mixed up with...
Saw them at Glasto in the 90's... I think...?

Yes they did. 82 people there if i remember correctly. Super gig. I was hammered, tripped over and had a massive black eye for weeks.
On the subject of the Inspirals, I do wish that I'd taken the opportunity to go and see The Clint Boon Experience when they were around... Top band (at least with the first album)! 
BOON ARMY! :)
Hopefully more to come. Can't wait to get another chance to see them, thought those days were past us now. One of my favourite bands.
