I'm afraid we'll have to change the wording
on the website as the Guireans can no longer
claim to be the world's worst band. Anybody
who saw 'Gemini', the UK's official entry to
the recent Eurovision Song Contest,
perform, will have quickly realised how
woeful they were. 'Nil points' from every
other state on the continent must say
something about their ability (or, more
precisely, lack of it). At least we got a
point in Lewis (get it ?). so that alone
makes us better than them.
So that got me thinking, are any of yoose
coves in the band interested in representing
your Queen and country in next year's
competition ? You could have an all
expenses paid holiday to Turkey in 2004,
courtesy of the BBC, and get to meet Terry
Wogan. As contoversey seems to attract lots
of votes (Russian Lezzie pop duo, Tatu, were
close runners up to the Turkish entry) we
could rename the band 'Midnight Express' and
do a cover version of 'Jailhouse Rock' !
That should go down well with the Turkish
prison authorites !
