Our Song....

As you may or may not know - Mr Jones and I met 10 years ago at Hull University. It took us two years to turn ourselves into a couple, but we've been pretty much inseparable ever since.

We shared many late nights of drunkness and many evenings were spent dancing to cheesy uni music and random bands. Now Mr Jones and I really don't do bands or band nights or anything that involves the sentence "Dude, I'm with the band" - but shortly before we left Hull the union threw an event called Maga-Gig - a music festival which, by all accounts they do every year.

In the summer of 2001 the Dum Dums were the head line act. We'd heard a few of their songs on the radio, but we didn't know too much about them. So we sat on the grass eating weird veggie food and drinking vodka slushes (me) and snake bite and black (Mr Jones) swaying along to the various support bands and chatting with our friends.

To be honest - by the time the Dum Dums came on stage we were to put it politely - hammered - and I don't remember too much about their show. I remember them getting us to sing Atomic Kitten's "You can make me whole again" and I remember dancing with Mr Jones to this song.

When we recovered the next morning (there were super noodles involved) we were both still humming this song. We went out and bought the cd and it's been our song ever since.

Sadly the Dum Dums split up very soon after Mega Gig - in fact it was their penultimate gig. But over the last 8 years we've kept up to date with the comings and goings of Josh Doyle - their lead singer. And guess what - he's coming to the UK in May to do a few shows - including some Dum Dums stuff. Unfortunately he won't be able to stay until August for our wedding (we have asked!) - but we really want to see him play.

So this is a plea to anyone reading - this click here

It's an Eventful request to have Josh play in Cambridge. Mr Jones and I will be in the front row singing along to our song.
