BASKET CASE would like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has either seen us, booked us, recommended us, thrown beer at us, sworn at us or generally made an idiot of themselves in our presence.
We salute you all.
See yer down the front, scumbags!!

Ay up !!
Just gone past the ten-year anniversary of the live juggernaut that is BASKET CASE
Just for fun, here are a few notable highlights from the career of the UK's ugliest punk/cheese covers band.
-
House lights up at the Isle of Wight Scooter Rally for VFM - Would've happily retired right there and then.
The dancefloor removal sequence at Hoodstock, Calverton back in July - The funniest thing you will ever see, and as for covering a hole in the floor with a sheet of newspaper; priceless.
The Thetford Curry disaster - Less said the better.
Simons 'Zulu' themed bedroom at the A19's Scooter Rally in Seaton Carew.
Simon again and THAT chuffin' great pizza in Bridlington - Is he still eating that?
Gatecrashers gig at Junktion 7, Nottm - Head injuries for gods' sake!
Beasleys' run in with Aunty Mardyarse at Kelham Hall.
The accomodation at ALL SWSC gigs, Wareham & Woolacombe.
Plus: the Penthouse Apartment in Kelso, Scotland.
Ice cubes stuck to the ceiling in the Wheatsheaf, Newark.
Plus, at the same gig: The woman who fell with her head in the bass drum, then fell asleep.
Beasley on the driveway of the Wellington Hotel, Basingstoke, New Years Day - He was transparent for weeks after consuming a bottle of Southern Comfort for supper.
Four old ladies dancing to 'Anarchy in the UK' in the beer garden of the 'Boot & Shoe' in Granby, Notts.
Got to play Rock City for 20 minutes on Easter Sunday - Another box ticked.
Riccos' first gig in Tynemouth - Plus a huge pile of salty-pig for breakfast.
Every 'smaller' gig we do, Beasley ends up with a microphone up his nose at some point, guaranteed - Usually due to crowd encroachment.
'Johnny one-tooth' at the White Hart in Newark - Not really very funny but, well, you know..... .....looking back.....
The unique talents of 'Dancing Mick' - A true fan and a BC legend.
Big Sheep - Only allowed out on Fridays.
The list goes on & on. No doubt there's a heap of stuff we've missed.
-
So the fact remains that if you've got a problem, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire BASKET CASE.
Actually, they're not difficult to catch, just don't lock them in a garage full of power tools.
