It’s a small world after all.

A couple of years ago I saw a really fun fringe show in the Bedlam called ‘Scotland is a great big evil face’ by The Martians. It included a number of really catchy songs. They were really fun to have in the theatre for the fringe and have, I believe, been around a bit since. When I was up for Fran and Mindys Ceilidh, I even bumped into Gerry and had a brief chat.

Completely unrelatedly I was listening to my favourite (only, but I do like it) Boston based podcast at the weekend, Accident Hash. At the end there was a very familiar song.. and when I scrolled back and listened to what was being said… there it was… ‘here is the Martians’. In fact when I re-listened (here) and paid more attention there was a song from them earlier in the show.

Wow. Such a small world.
