I seem to remember 'Eleven' doing a peel session, one of the tracks (I think was called) 'If I were you and you were me'. Quite good as I remember, I did have a small segment on tape. Sadly I don't know where. Although I remember a mate 10 years or so ago, producing a complete tape (together with Undertones Peels sessions) to my complete astonishment!! I do also somewhere possess tapes and singles of early 'That Petrol Emotion'. What I would like to know....does anyone possess footage from (with the exception of the videos & the Live in concert from Hitchin)of 'You've got my number', 'Wednesday Week?'.

So there I am last Saturday working in the kiosk. downtown Belfast, selling Cappucino's etc when I spy a familiar face walking past Ravelle (the shoe shop). It can't be, to the untrained eye an ordinary bloke out shopping but to the enlightened no less than one of the members of one of the greatest bands ever. "Billy Docherty -TDU" I shout and before he knows what's hit him-I've dragged him over for a cup of tea, even though he doesn't want one. Good conversation, top bloke (pity about Man U fixation Billy - having lived in Manchester its got to be City). I'm seriously considering some kind of plaque (Billy Docherty -TDU stood here 26/08/00) at the moment it's an A4 piece of paper with an arrow). Billy tells me that he's more into dance music at the moment which is cool- after all the world moves on but it seems probable that there will be more gigs. The website comes up in conversation and I tell him how great it is that he contributes. Billy says that if he was a fan of a band he would really appreciate a band member joining the website and seems genuinely appreciative and slightly surprised by it all. Off he wanders and I mention to numerous friends an acquaitances who has just stood there and do you know what they were not that impressed -the FOOLS. On another point - I saw Eleven at the Marquee sometime in 1984 - they had a song called My Metropolis and if memory serves also did a Peel session. The singer was a black guy whose name I can't remember - they weren't terrible - more like a band who hadn't time to develop. I also saw Simply Red (before they were signed) doing a cover of Teenage Kicks and I remember a conversation with Hucknell when he praised the Tones to High Heaven and said that that was the spirit he was aiming for. What happened Mick? Time to fly Arthur Magee

Its nice to know that the drummer in one of the best bands in the world,also knows what he's talking about when it comes to football!Although if you are resposible for Take That reforming you might have to go into hiding! One more thing,I've been listening to the live Petrols album,if anyone can get through that album without shedding a tear they have stopped breathing!Although I suppose the O'Neill's might be a bit busy for a Petrols reunion as well(i hope!)
