popper #3

tammy 'two fat ladies' de vasan - tammy is originally from malaysia but moved to the uk in the late 90s in order to participate in the growing bingo scene here in scotland. Having reached the status of 'full house champion kuala lumpar 1996' tammy has discovered that competition is tougher here in scotland and she still only ranks at 477 in the fountainbridge mecca stakes. Whilst this has been a discouraging few years, tammy's drive and ambition has amazed all of us in the band as she has determinedly committed herself to full-time bingo participation, sacrificing a promising career in catering and moving house to be closer to the bridges bingo club in order to be able to compete daily...watch out she bites.

popper #1

ben 'dee fingers' jenkins-davies - A little known fact about ben is that he has no bones in his fingers and thumbs. This may sound fairly insignificant but to understand the true breath-taking extent of this fact, picture if you will the best break dancer you know - now imagine that person were a giant hand - now imagine that giant hand of miracle-moves is at the end of one of ben's arms and you will realise just what a darned good finger slinger our ben is. he never fails to pull.

If you only had one shot ...

Look if you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, for one moment- would you capture it? Or just let it slip? ...

Palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy
there's excitement at the Bongo already we feel heady
and nervous on the surface we are calm and ready
to drop gospel tunes and we're not forgetting
what we worked on the whole crowd goes so loud
we open our mouths what a sound's blasting out
we're groovin and everybody's rockin out
tickets sold venue is all sold out
Snap back to reality oh there goes gravity
oh there goes mama p bombed we're so mad cos we
had crap publicity we never got you to see
this is definitely gotta be the gig of the century
doh! we know that but we never persuaded thee
to at least try and get in for free, so now we're playin to an empty
Bongo Club (at least we made it look pretty)
Well we'd better go practise our moves and our juicy gospel harmonies ...

OH Yeah Good Peeple- You only Get One Shot do not miss this chance to see Mama P - We are a band unlike any other- we are the best looking band in town- with the best harmonies and the most energy!

We have had a brilliant year, and we're putting on a party at the Bongo Club on saturday to celebrate- and we'd love you to be there to hear what we can do and get your groove on with us- we're trying to bring gospel sounds and funky grooves together with a whole lot of fun and goodness to make music to bring you JOY!

We have a show that will start bang on 8pm, featuring an amazing guest star (an edinburgh legend!) and we will finish bang on 10, and follow it up with an after gig party in a pub nearby...

Please get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment (you can get em from Fopp, cockburn st)

Saturday 13th May, Bongo Club, Moray House, Holyrood Rd. Doors 7pm.
