They are playing in Manchester tonight at Heaton Park, near where I live, and right now I can hear them practicing.

Any fans on here?

I'm a fan, but I can't go see them. Lucky you. I would have loved it if they did one here, Brownie already did one gig in Israel.

I could hear them at my bedroom window last night playing "This is the one." really loud. It took me back over 20 years.

I think the Roses are unique in that they have managed to remain popular for over 20 years on the back of what was really just a 6 month chart career (Dec 89 - July 90), and a minor chart comback in 94-95. In fact they only had 3 top ten hits and two albums.

I think they will be spoken about for many more years yet.
