CRE006 - THE X-MEN "Do the Ghost" w/ Tim Hosking (The X-Men, The Fish Hildas, Ug & the Cavemen)

Your friendly hosts explore the first of two X-Men singles on Creation, learning all about the garage trash & psychobilly scenes around early-mid ‘80s London. Guest Tim Hosking, bass player for the X-Men also helps us get to the bottom of the Fish Hildas mystery, and he lets us know how you can use a glass pie case to mic up chime bars. We learn a lot on this one!
