Ashley 288 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 There was a **** take thrash metal band from Ravenshead early 2000ish called Lawnmower Deth with Pete Qualcast on vocals, Chris Flymo on drums plus Kev Silo Stench and Gavin Hedgetrimmer on guitars, however I suspect those weren't their real names Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Think Gavin came from a long line of Hedgetrimmers in the Ravenshead/Papplewick area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,877 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Am told there is a famous guitarist (genuine) has a house in Papplewick? That could be Brian May from Queen. Lives around there possibly Newstead Abbey. He has been seen in the Horse and Groom at Linby on several occasions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Radfodlad 0 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Am told there is a famous guitarist (genuine) has a house in Papplewick? There was a recent rumour(2 years ago) that Brian May(Queen fame) had purchased a house on the A60 at Ravenshead. Not true. A case of `Chinese Whispers` That could well be the guitarist of which you speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,877 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It's true that Freddie Mercurys mother Mrs Bulsara lives in Mapperley. My sons friend is her gardener, which brings us back to lawn mowers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
