Looking out over the Minehead bay towards Butlins after a pretty joyous Shiiine On. Now for breakfast.

The Cuban Boys live into '25 - electronica that's not just button-prodding and chin-stroking but a cabaret of carnage with a blitz of videos, guests and music biz stories. Follow The Cuban Boys

#totp75 Kenny are on #TOTP right now The Cuban Boys Though it's not The Bump.

Chris Hawkins Also, The Cuban Boys had The Manual with us when we made Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia, but didn't follow it religiously. Probably why we only got to number 4. We wanted to use it as a prop on Top Of The Pops but Chris Cowey wouldn't let us.
