Lesley rang me to enquire about perhaps coming to Miskin. Having told my normal paupers tale, she was still daft enough to send me a CD. Twenty seconds in I got that "magic tingle factor" and knew this band just had to be unleashed on Miskin.
They payed us a short visit during the last Winter Warmer in 2001. They couldnt make it last Easter, but they are back with us this year.
I promise you The Hot Tamales will be a highlight of the weekend. Oh, and don't go home without a copy of their new CD. Now go look at their site...full of piccys and sound samples.
