As you know, David, but the rest of the forum's readership may not, Ben Mandelson, Lu Edmonds and Justin Adams have formed Le Trio Diabolique , whom I'm have invited to do a session on World on 3 sometime before the end of the year, ideally before their UK debut at the new Kings Place venue near Kings Cross on October 2.

Have Ben & Lu dropped the third guitarist from their current band? What happened - did Ian have a shave and spoil the image?? Don't you just know it!

As far as I know, the two trios co-exist.

Since making the earlier post, I can now confirm that the trio involving Justin will feature on my World on 3 programme date 8 September, but under a different name. It turns out somebody else has/is Le Trio Diabolique.

So I guess the way is open for you to make suggestions

The Flab Three?

As they are all skinny, this would have to be The Flab-Free Three.

Try saying that after a couple of vodkas.

Just give it time and I'm pretty confident that life will imitate art. In the meantime, how about Three Skinny Laddies?

or in tribute to the Mustaphas :

3 Flab Free 3

I'm going for

"the flabless free"

I can picture the posters already, as they stand next to bicycles wearing lycra tops and shorts, holding their instruments of course.

Promising

Ben is such a punster, he might even come up with The Three Mustafarians

Le Triobolique? Or Le Triabolique, maybe.

Very good, Con

I didn't want to give the game away, but the one name Ben already suggested was Les Trioboliques

The Beer Guzzlin' Harpies....not implying anything, but I think it would make a good name.

I was going to suggest the Broke Back Mountain Boys - (because of the ages of the members) - as some went under the name the Tension Mounting Boys, or something like that!

I like that suggestion.

I think the Tension Mountain Boys did a session for Charlie which I missed Goldurn it! Is it archived anywhere?
