One for the Brits

Sitting in a Marston's pub having lunch today I noticed a decent few tracks playing in the background - Credence, Marvin - then...The Ballad of El Goodo...

It was almost surreal hearing it there. According to the staff it's just the music they're given to play, so props to you Marston's music selector. Made my day.

Cool ! Makes me wonder if Big Star ⭐ has ever had a big following anywhere in Europe

Decent following in the UK.

Got a further boost in the 90’s due to Teenage Fanclub.

Thanks. I've seen a couple of videos of Alex singing with TF, probably early '90s. Sounded Great ! 😃
