MY GENERATION


Over 4.6 million views on youtube alone.....


The video that started it all! It was a wonderful day at Abbey Road studios. We all assumed this video was the end of our journey, but it turned out to be only the beginning.


“If I knew at the time it was going to become a global success I’d have worn my favorite shirt” laughs Alf.

 

FIRESTARTER


Born out of the belief that nothing can’t be done. Alf took the role of Keith Flint to his heart and wouldn’t give the sweater back at the end of the day. Rumour is that he can be seen wearing it at the odd bingo night!


Those in the know might recognise Adam Ficek from Babyshambles in the video. We love Babyshambles and thank them for all their advice and help in the music biz!

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW


Performing on the Show


We’d spent the whole day at the studio and were really worried how our first ever TV performance would go...we were very nervous, hope it doesn’t show too much!

We couldn’t believe it when Hilary Alexander called and asked us to do this makeover of the band. You can see just how much fun it was and it did create one of the most famous, dare we say iconic images of the band.
