<p>Great to be back at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, UK to perform two new songs "YOU CAN'T WIN" and 'VEGAS BABY!" This is the fourth or fifth time the band has been asked to feature in a music magazine show produced by students. We were delighted to help out and work with guest drummer BEN TWYFORD. Mark broke out his new SUPRO guitar and CHARLIE worked his socks off as key interviewee.</p>Oil City Kingstag:oilcitykings.com,2005:Post/52072832018-04-28T12:01:06+01:002023-12-10T19:46:27+00:00Thanks to the NFTS.<p>A big thanks to the NFTS for having us again this week.
