The Six appear at flower show
Following on from Farming Incident's totally inappropriate appearance
at a local school, The Scaramanga Six mysteriously found themselves on
the bill at Huddersfield's second annual Lark In The Park Festival recently.
The
event, billed as 'A weekend of family fun' gained hefty local interest
and spawned rave reviews form The Huddersfield Examiner who wrote:
'About
15,000 people are estimated to have turned up at Greenhead Park to watch
top local bands and for a feast of funfairs, stalls and flowers. The free
event, arranged by Kirklees Council's cultural services department, finished
with a grand finale of fireworks.
This
year's event was held jointly with Huddersfield 61st Flower, Vegetable
and Handicraft Show. Organisers said they were delighted by more than
1,000 entries for all categories, despite a dismal summer. Show organiser
Geoff Hirst said:
"We
were very pleased with the number of entries, considering the fact we
have had appalling weather in June, July and August.
"This
year we started a new competition for children's handicraft and the response
has been very encouraging," he added.'
The
Six appeared bemused as they turned up to find a giant Budgie singing
'The Birdie Song' on the very stage they were about to perform on. Apparently
this was something to do with Pulse FM, the local radio station. Paul
of The Six decided he needed a good stiff drink and headed off to a large
tent only to find that it was full of oversized prize vegetables. Though
the local produce was very impressive, there was NO BEER. However, The
Six rocked on in adverse conditions and managed to play though their set
without any complaints. And the firework display at the end of the night
was breathtaking.
