PS i totally agree with Rob Bradford's concert report on an earlier posting

What does "give it some welly" mean?

Errr - A term of encouragement and support - Perform with gusto - sometimes abbreviated to "welly it"

It probably derives from the British sport of welly wanging. Here's what Wikipedia has to say

Wellie wanging, or wellie throwing, is a sport that originated in Britain, most likely in the county of Yorkshire. Competitors are required to hurl a Wellington boot as far as possible within boundary lines, from a standing or running start. A variation requires participants to launch the wellie from the end of their foot as if they were kicking off a pair of shoes.

The World Welly Wanging Championships are held each year during the Summer Gala in the Village of Upperthong in Yorkshire. Welly wanging originated following an incident during which a pint of Tetleys Bitter was accidentally spilt into someone's welly.
