Brilliant new band. Seeing them at the end of May at Gorilla in Manchester and then again in November at the Ritz.

Re: This Could Be Texas by English Teacher
Haven't listened to the album yet but caught my ear when I heard the Pendle Witches line in World's Biggest Paving Slab on the radio.
I read that the singer was from a village near Burnley but nothing more specific than that.
Always good to hear local bands (or bands with local connections at least) doing well.

Re: This Could Be Texas by English Teacher
Saw them a couple of weeks ago. Totally missed the question 'does anyone know where Colne is' but I was captivated generally.
