Welcome to the Basement - a room out of sight, away from the regular folks, full to the rafters with old records, discarded Lee and Herring scripts and the wrapper from what seems to be a Cadbury Maverick bar from about 1996. A celebration of music, comedy and art from Keighley and the wider world. In this premiere golden No.1 silver-foil collector's edition show, join Ben for a whirlwind masked snog of great music, daft jokes and alarming noises with a tribute to Nikkers Club, a rebuttal to John Cooper Clarke, an interview with Michael Watmough from the Exchange Arts Centre, what's REALLY going on in Keighley, geese, middle age, shouting and drinking outside pubs again. Plus music from Random Hand, Felka, The Shakes, Pixies, Buzzcocks and many more. Tracklist: RANDOM HAND - "ANTHROPOLOGY" (Another Change Of Plan, 2010) https://random-hand.bandcamp.com FELKA - "BLACK AND BLUE" (Black and Blue EP, 2021) https://felka.bandcamp.com/album/black-blue PIXIES - "THE HOLIDAY SONG" (Come On Pilgrim, 1987) https:/
