Still unable to walk in daylight, Uncle Fester takes refuge at Carstairs during the day, only to come out at night he has native american indian ancestary hence his given name nrajomasteringpoka which roughly translates as dances with young men an expert at all musical instruments except bass guitar he can swing a cat in a very small space and breathes through his ears
Norster Fake-drums flute banjo bmx king world record holder at ear wriggling
Norster was kidnapped from a blue-coat holiday camp in New Orleans. He was the world champion Shadow Puppeteer. He showed us how he could peel a banana inside his pocket (or so we thought). He is the oldest member of the fakes at a whopping 467 years old, but he drinks from the fountain of youth every full moon. Uncle Fester has been trying to find this fountain but Norster refuses to give up his secret has a twin brother but they are never seen together he will only bathe in camel milk on a full moon which is almost impossible but fester always drinks it after him so its never wasted he can turn his head 359 degrees

Sound waves need a lot of energy to be heard at a volume level that can enjoyed. A good healthy haggis supper should have enough calories for around 16 power chords.

see the fakes shred a GUN classic in Transilvania (Rockers, Glasgow) and play live behind the Iron curtain in Moscows Red Square (Rockers, Glasgow)....
