In a dream last night I saw a poster for a Rick Wakeman concert and the support bands were "Slimy Kline" and "Trumpet Finger". Does anyone know if these are real bands that were somehow lodged in my sub conscious?

Today is Somerset Day. To celebrate I'm going to embrace the full Somerset experience by eating Cheddar cheese and drinking farmhouse cider while stood in the shower with some dodgy indie music playing in the far distance.
