The Pretty Things, just casually playing Erdington village fete...

So i just popped up the road, and Erdington village fete is on in full glory. Tracksuits, Villa shirts, the works (its a grotty town near Birmingham where my girlfriend lives).

They have a music stage, just by Poundland, the band who were on were awful but i thought, what else is on then?

4pm - THE PRETTY THINGS

I was dumbstruck. I know they must be old by now but still, Erdington Town fete?!

Villa Shirts. Well, in which case it was a high class event and I won't hear otherwise :-)

The glory years shall return!!

Do you mean for The Pretty Things or for the Vile?

They have a tour starting soon, so might be a warm up, or might be a local band who couldn't be arsed to Google to see if that band name was in use.

It was definitely them, there is a club in Erdington that a lot of acts from the 60s played at, so I presume it's something to do with that And in fact here's the Sutton observer preview! http://www.suttoncoldfieldobserver.co.uk/Village-fete-pretty-good-line-Mother-s-salute/story-21328827-detail/story.html
