Billing Aquadrome is a holiday park near Northampton. It’s got static caravans, some funfair type things, I think a marina as well. My mum used to do the accounts for the café.

One of two Northampton references in HMHB songs, the other been ‘Rothersthorpe North / South’.

The Peel Sessions download at The Perfumed Garden (see link elsewhere on this page) appears to be down at the moment, but a quick Google will give you many sources for torrents of the complete set of songs from John Peel’s show (and more), well worth hearing. Especially this one.

I don’t know how many different actual recordings of this track exist, but on the one I’ve got Nigel sounds like he’s got a rotten cold.

I notice it’s five years to the day since this last Peel session was recorded … which means it’s five years this week since the last Peel show… which means Peel Day. More events than last year it seems, but still not as many as there should be. There are all-dayers in London & Manchester today, and this

tomorrow in L’pool. Hope someone will take an HMHB disc or two along:

However, I can’t find anything listed for Leeds, so I guess next Thursday should be declared Leeds John Peel day. See you in the Fenton from about 7 (the beer at Stylus is unspeakably bad )

Ricardo, how do you come up with these? Inside info direct from NB?
A better search engine than the rest of us have seen? Or, are you
really an exceptionally prodigious reader who just happened across these quotations?

Glad to have ended your torment, Rowan.

And as Sherlock Exford suspects, I was also responsible for the Shackleton quote – it was my first post on this magnificent site- but saw there was already a Richard. Ta for the compliment; smiley emoticon thing.

Oh and by the way I did wonder whether “Stinchcombe” just might conceivably have been jotted down in NB’s notebook as a name worthy of use because of this story, which combines at least 2 of his preoccupations…

It might seem at first that the rambling anti-golf obsessive who runs that website has really only been doing it since 2006-07, but then you notice that the attacks on ramblers started in 2002.

Got to love the Hugo Chavez quote that’s been added on there recently, by the way, though Hugo has clearly never played a round amidst the salt-of-the-earth denizens of any of Wirral’s fine municipal courses.
