I just watched The story of Anvil for the 2nd or 3rd time,and you could basically photoshop The Wholigans faces into those scenarios and it would tell our tale 100% exactly the same. it's a film you should see, as it shows  the trials and tribulations of a road dog 'overnight' success story .............that was 30 years in the making. Fans just see the band on stage for 2hours and think

August 16th 2011 There comes a time when everyone in all walks of life must seriously look at where they are and where they have been and what they are headed for. Rocky Balboa did indeed survive to come back and fight one more time, but even he (the character) and quite possibly Stallone himself recognized they had turned 'the corner' I think I may have reached 'that corner',I'm not 100%

I'm sure I'm not telling you something you don't already know,but I've never seen so much news about The Who in a long long time ,see their website hereIt's really a major testimony to their popularity/longevity after all these years.I don't know how many others can make such a claim.I never thought I'd say this but,the owners and editors of The Who's site are doing a great job which is something

I hope I don't piss too many Wholigans off about this......butThis video is probably one of (if not THE best performance) I've seen of The Wholigans.I have been SO LUCKY to have been surrounded by great -really great- musicians over the years.Without whom I'd look and sound like shit.This is from 1987-88ish or so .

Here's a video of the first and more than likely the last time we played 'Run Run Run' at Tom Wright's photo exhibition in 03.For all the details read 'more info' on the youtube site (to the right of the video)I actually love the song and keep pushing the other Wholigans to do it,but they all seem a litle gun shy..... for some reason. I'll keep pushing, but in the meantime here it is'RUN RUN RUN'
