Well I thought I might as well plug our band.  I am the bass player/vocalist in a Budgie tribute band based in the East Midlands (Nottingham) called IN FOR THE KILL. Please check us out: http://www.inforthekill.webeden.co.uk/ Thanks for the plug..... Tony C. |

Hello Jonny. As far as I know tabs for Budgie are just about non-existent, however if you join the Budgie fan forum (of which i'm a member), there are files on there with some bass tabs (not by me, by a moderator of the site), but I don't recall any guitar tabs? The site is here: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/bandolier/ If you need lyrics I have put all of them on my site here: http://www.inforthekill.webeden.co.uk/ Just click, Enter site - Email/Links - Budgie Lyrics (at bottom of the page). The only other option would be to email our guitarist Russell Saxton and he may give you the chords/tabs but he is extremely busy so he might not have time. You can contact him by going on our site, click Email Links Page click the spinning email link and send us an email leaving your email address of course!. It will come to me and i'll pass it on ok? Nice to know you are a fan and good luck....Tony ------------- Tony C. |

Do you play south of the Trent, i.e into N.Leicestershire? BTW before reading the thread in detail I had a little bet with myself that your band would be called Twill - wrong - but I'm sure you can work out the logic........ ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Hi Dick. Twill? ha ha very good  Our guitarist played on a Budgie "tribute" cd called TRILL which is close to Twill I guess  it was Budgie material made by fans and sold for charity. I have been trying to get a couple of gigs in Melton Mowbray but both places are stalling. The only place we do play around Leicestershire is in Loughborough, a place called The Three Nuns. We are due back this year Saturday 9th April. Suprisingly, it's quite difficult to get gigs in our home county of Nottinghamshire, yet we seem to get plenty in Derbyshire for some reason. Please make yourself known if you manage to get to see us. Thanks for your interest.  ------------- Tony C. |
