Years ago I was on holiday with friends in Manchester, walking around the
fields outside of town. We were visiting a pub in the middle of the fields when
a guy at the bar asked us if we were in a band. I said, “Yeah we are, The
White Shoes.” And what do you know, the young girls are all of a sudden
wearing monstrous big white plastic shoes. I’d always thought white
shoes were for the elderly or nurses. Fashion always seems to surprise me and in
the case of these white shoes, it certainly did. What can I say? Maybe these
girls will be in my band and I will change the name to ‘The White Shoe
Army’ and tour the world. lol.
With kind regards,
