I've got to say, I'm intrigued.

Probably like Bristol with trip-hop - Peterborough is about to unleash a new genre on to the unsuspecting world.

Or the guy doesn't want to pay a full band....

Peterborough Soul: like Northern Soul but with more beet.

They're lying. Nothing is unique to Peterborough.

Unless you count "doing stuff worse than everywhere else" as "unique".

Quick, has someone told Phil Collins?

I'm a singing drummer. Wonder if it'll be worth the 4 hour round trip to practices...

Very pretty Cathedral.

I worked in Peterborough for a year, once.

I made a lame history joke (pinched from A Fish Called Wanda) to the receptionist. She didn't get it.

She informed me that she knew nothing about "proper" history as she had lessons about "The Bog Man" at school. She informed me that it was a local legend.

I'm hoping she merely remembered that and the schools did actually teach things like the World Wars and the like.

I did some recording in Peterborough once at 5 mile high studios, the guy who owned it was a really, really good.

Peterborough's claim to fame is that it's a satellite town to Kettering, and a layby on the way to Norwich.

This anti-Peterborough sentiment is all very well, but all you Luton, Swindon, Croydon etc etc residents need to watch your stone throwing - or we will stop all shipments from the national Ikea distribution centre...

Hey, don't knock the mighty Kettering. Its got a B&M Bargains *AND* and Poundland.

And Kettering has a song named after it by a band John Peel signed to his Dandelion Records label back in the late 60's. The band being the Principal Edwards Magic Theatre, and the song is called The Kettering Song, of course. Found on their Asmoto Running Band album of 1971.

There's even a Floyd link in there too. Alas not a David Gilmour one though.

You guys learn something new everyday.

They had to build an airport in Luton so people could get out of Luton quicker.

Alas, I fear you have confused the Orton Massif with the Dogsthorpe crew.

Dogsthorpe have upgraded to Corsas.
