He did mention that Embrace are actually from outside Leeds. I wasn't aware, as I've never even heard of this band before.
Don't we all know, as well, that to be recognised in the Land of Fake Jazz Nonsense you have to REALLY make it - or at least ride the coat-tails of success. Hence why some bands you treasure didn't make it onto a three-second list. The Ivories are new, as are Black Wire, and the Kaisers were played later - however, the context of the bands I quoted Dave on were clearly supergroups of some vintage
And although Dave is a perenially miserable git, he is actually the writing and comedy spark behind the CM Show. Clearly not to everyone's tastes, but the man himself - of whom I've always liked more than Moyles - is quite a happy chap.
Well, so would I if I had a BBC wage.
