The Fry Ups

The Fry Ups was a small local band that existed 28 years ago, with dreams of glory. They did produce a few demos.

The bass player was Ricky Hawthorn, a now radio DJ for Two Point Radio. Ricky implies the demos were poorly produced and on an old media format, possibly cassette tape, but it is never confirmed.

One of the demos was called Spoonful Of Grease which Ricky wrote himself. Ricky claims the reason they broke up was because their big egos got in the way. They had a big fight because Ricky kept turning the bass up at the mix. Ricky believes they were a talented band. He refers to other bands he plays on the radio to much less talented. Ricky once played the demo on the radio. 4 listeners called in asking to buy a copy at any cost. Ricky confirmed he would send them all a tape of the masterpiece. He sent them 2nd class.
