Too right, Che. Kenny once had an amp and guitar. Me and some mates had the pleasure of singing The Gambler with him late in the '80s/ early '90s one Friday night. Kenny was so bad it made us all sound good. At least, that's what we reckoned at the time.

He was banned from singing after the then-new apartments in Lower Tory Street had bitched and moaned to the council about the godawful racket (This was before the ugly buggers above Espressoholic had been built). Eventually, the council had to nick Kenny's amp to stop him altogether.

Does Wellingtonista know the truth behind the Man with the Bucket (Robert Jones)? I heard that he was once a civil servant who, through a series of unfortunate events, chucked his career and ended up dying in a Thorndon street after living life as a homeless person.
