Biography
It started back in the early 1990s with Just Like Alice, raw pop songs being belted out in the pubs of North East England - chunky guitars, manic violin and glorious trumpet.
Then, after a few comings and goings and a name change it was Tickety-Boo - 'sweet, not sickly boy girl vocals', more violin and a highly regarded EP.
Then came the court case when Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and his publishers took exception to the Ticketys dropping a snatch of one of his most famous tunes into their anthemic 'Cantona'.
The band taunted the lawyers, the lawyers headed North and it all ended up at the High Court. It ended in inevitable defeat - 'they fought the lord, the lord won' and the band crumbled away.
Ten years on and Kevin McGrother, the man behind both bands has dusted down his song collection and has released a 10 song album, "Living In An Enid Blyton World".
