HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y-FRONTS, or should one say Tighty-Whiteys. Briefs were first sold on January 19, 1935 by Coopers, Inc., in Chicago, Illinois. They dubbed the new undergarment the Jockey because it offered a similar degree of support as the jockstrap (one style of which is also called jock brief or support briefs). Thirty thousand pairs were sold within three months of their introduction. In North America, Jockey shorts or Jockeys was an often used generic term for mens briefs. More recently, tighty-whiteys has become a commonly used nickname for briefs (Wikipedia). Why is Clonter talking about Y-Fronts? - Last year the Clonter staged was treated to a spectacular act by the New Rope String Band, whose show crescendo-ed, to dramatic effect, with a man sporting a bright pink pair of Y-Fronts! Whilst the NRSB will not be returning this year, the other half of the Evenings entertainment will be coming to help shake off the Winter Blues, in the form of John Hegley youtube/watch?v=xPF0AFnDfYM (The Wordsworth of Potatoes, more Elvis Costello than Alan Bennett), who will be joined this year by the indefatigable Lorraine Bowen, The Mighty Boosh meets Mary Poppins, and Andrew Bailey, a master of dysfunctional Doo-Wop. Intrigued? Youre too late. Saturday 7th Feb. Tickets from £9, Children (Under 16) £5.
