Went to the Hailsham Pavilion gig last night, which was a 30 mile crawl along the A22 - with changing speed limits the whole way. I was flashed by a camera on the way back entering a badly marked 30mph zone - be warned Sad

The band were in fine form and the sound was superb. Simon Nicol did his usual cake recipe aided by bottle of brandy (Huh), Simon Care performed an egg dance blindfold, Kelly While was magical, and Ashley - played a pale blue Danelectro bass which sounded very good indeed. It was the usual words and song format with a very short mummers play.

He used a 12 string and a small 6 string, I have no idea what make they were.

I think the small one would have been the Rob Armstong but I don't know anything about the 12 string.  No sign of the Santa Cruz - alas, I fear the worst Cry

It all sounds very good anyway and I'm certainly looking forward to Canterbury on the 21st Smiley

Saw them ( for the first time live) last Thursday at Pontardawe.  Excellent set which seemed to whizz by.  Christmas has well and truly commenced! Smiley

Whose Christmas present is your Mum a part of, Paul?  (Sorry, having a very silly moment.  Grin)

Mickf - you should have said hello! (Or maybe you did to Andy and Wendy and I was out of the room at the time). A fine evening though.  Smiley

Shirl:  Roll Eyes

My sister got tickets for herself & Mum to see FC at Crosby last Wintour, but sis was unwell so they couldn't go.  Hopefully (as I have the tickets at home) I will be able to get up to Merseyside next week as long as the weather is OK - and the forecast isn't looking particularly good.

Thinks:  perhaps I should post the tickets to Mum, then if I can't get there, sis could take her...

I forgot to ask Ashley, has anyone noticed if any shows from the current tour are being broadcast on local radio?

We bought Blair Dunlop's EP and it is very good indeed.
