Cool!

The t-shirts were definitely "limited edition" (i.e. we couldn't afford to get many printed!!!)

The "Happy Shoebox" demo tape was named after the shoe shop that was opposite Fourth Wave in Huddersfield. If my memory is right, we were all in Fourth Wave browsing thru the LPs and decided to name the demo tape after the first thing we saw when we went outside.

Errr… I was talking to my brother on the phone and we were talking about what we were doing about our respective vinyl collections (amassed during the 1980s/1990s from places like rotate in Brighouse and fourth wave and fulcrum in Huddersfield) – both of which are sat in boxes in lofts mostly unplayed since the advent of CDs and Mp3s. my brother mentioned your record 'kissed to pieces' which he bought aged about 16 after going to a gig. he also recalled owning a t-shirt with the headmen logo on the front which I also remember borrowing and subsequently losing after playing 5-a-side one evening at rastrick high. Anyway, I thought I would look it up on the internet and hey! here I am. thanks for the memories!!!

Hi Dave

Just thought I should let you know that, as long as you're happy with the idea, The Headmen are featuring on my site at the moment. Seeing as I found this while looking up info I thought I should let you know.

Ah..I had read these, I had…bhangra, mealworms..it's all coming back to me. Christmas has blacked our all memory of things that came before it. Sorry about the double tagging.

My mother-in-law was breeding mealworms to involve and excite her grandchildren. I've met the critters in their sawdust.

We're ickier here and breed worms.
