FURTHER SIGHTINGS,
OTHER NESTS:

In olden days of old, Old was the new Old. But is Old now the old Old of old or is the new New old news?
The answer may lie in amongst the bangs, twangs and harangues of Portsmouth pop monkeys Horrible Head.

The Horribles lasted little more than a year from their art school formation in the late summer - or was it the early autumn? - of 1985 and are barely remembered, not least by the group members themselves.

They existed in a time when queues outside public phoneboxes wasn't uncommon and one could count the number of TV channels on the fingers of a leper's foot. They were the loud crowd outside of The In Crowd. This is what passed for entertainment in the grand old days of Old.
