Utah Saints are from Harrogate

As far as random facts go, that’s one.

Do you do requests? I’d like something a bit more topical, perhaps bearing more relevance to my life today?

Mike Oldfield is from Reading.

Don’t care where they’re from or how much of a one trick pony they were, this is still a HUGE track.

@colournoise – yup, amazing track.

Certified 90’s banger

Even at an insomniac 4am that track is bloody amazing.

It’s a bit like if Kate Bush got lost in Harrogate.

Meanwhile in Wales…

Interestingly the band Berlin were from Los Angeles, and they are reputed never to have met Utah Saints.

Ah, the 2008 remix video is great, you’d almost think they were from Wales 😁

Utah Saints were a great live act back in the 90’s absolute bangers

Prior to utah saints, jez and tim were part of the electro goth industrial band MDMA who were also rather jolly.

Utah Saints are still DJing live all over the place and they’re quality

I saw then DJ last summer at Camp Bestival and they were absolutely brilliant. Great set! Would definitely see them again.

Welsh version vid FTW. Exceptional!

I like their rehash of silver machine

Not Harrogate, but down the road in Knaresborough – Tim Kellett formerly of Simply Red and subsequently formed a band called Olive and had a number one hit with ‘You’re Not Alone’. He was in the year below me at school and lived a street across from me.

Meanwhile in Wales…

Such a great video!

Ohhh, and for you metal fans – Acid Reign were from Harrogate too.

The Cardiff version – was that one of the guys from Bros? 🤣

Cracking video. I’ll try the same in my local this afternoon.😀

Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman.

Plus – they’re not actually canonized.

Ironically, the Venga Boys are from Diss, Norfolk, where there’s no hills to go up, and down.
