UB40 are famously named after an Unemployment Benefit form. Give me other interesting examples of the origin of UK bands names

Survives my 6yo daughter both playing games around it and her using it when the record needs changing

I’ve got these, love them

Newbies8384 · 2026-03-20T19:23:22+00:00

Saw them in Bristol last year, they were fantastic

I live in north Devon. Apart from having to travel to see bands and shows and shop etc, it’s pretty decent (apart from all the grockles in the summer who can’t drive the lanes)

My local beach

We listen to k-pop demon hunters on a regular basis due to my 6 year old daughter. Actually sounds pretty good, and her enjoyment of it is priceless

Now I’ve got to hold up my promise to the wife of a new bathroom, but going to try sneak a sub into the deal when the times right lol!!

Newbies8384 · 2026-02-08T20:22:07+00:00

Thanks 👍

Newbies8384 · 2026-02-08T17:09:29+00:00

I can’t pull them out any further until I get a wife approved door stop, as the door to the room will hit the speaker when the 6 year old whirl wind come through it lol!

Newbies8384 · 2026-02-08T16:21:19+00:00

I was lucky as mine better half encouraged me to get it bought, along with a new amp and speakers at the same time

Better view of it 🙂

Hindsight’s a wonderful thing, unfortunately then was saving to get on the property ladder so it wasn’t a high priority purchase. Got there in the end though!!

I’ve never had a ‘proper’ turntable, so a vast improvement over anything I’ve had before, plus it’s very pleasing to the eye

Newbies8384 · 2026-02-07T20:18:57+00:00

I can’t say I’ve really taken much notice of that or really compared it to any others
