Episode 13: How Does it Feel by Slade
This episode takes its inspiration from the 1970s Slade classic, How Does it Feel? and it’s the choice of Frosty1973. For this episode we’ve chosen Slade’s classic 1975 single How Does it Feel. This song, which may not be representative of most people’s perception of Slade, combines Jim Leas poignant music with Noddy Holder’s simple…

Episode 11: I Can’t Git A Nice Loaf A Bread by The Singing Postman
The Parsnip has chosen the enigmatic Singing Postman as inspiration for this latest episode. It’s often the case with these Frozen veg episodes that a spur of the moment choice of some favourite remembered song leads to a deeper appreciation of the subject.

Frosty1973 chooses one of his favourite artists, Joseph Arthur, as inspiration for this episode. I first discovered Joseph Arthur in the Mike Lloyds Megastore sale in 1997.

After the last episode, the Parsnip’s choice, turned out be quite a demanding affair I thought I’d go for a much easier choice where we didn’t have to worry about vocals and just did something instrumental.

Episode Four: Move Closer by Phyllis Nelson
The Parsnip has chosen a classic from Phyllis Nelson for this episode. There has been quite a gap since the last episode and that’s down to me, I’m afraid. I’ve had a total mental block with this tune. Let me take you back to 1985. Picture the scene. The family is on holiday, probably in…

Our Takes 80s rock classic, gets some attention in this episode. It’s The Parsnip’s choice. In this second episode, fresh out of the freezer comes another classic. Guns n’ Roses is another band with a slinky link to Stoke-on-Trent. Slash, erstwhile guitarist of the band, spent a few of his formative years in Stoke, thus…
