Another excellent gig , though I suspect Simon may regret the way he introduced MOTL  I'm absolutely shattered today so will try to add more later. It was a shame so many people couldn't come  You were missed - TAWers do help to make a gig even more fun  |

Nothing too controversial, just end of tour fatigue along the lines of lets get thru MOTL then we can all go and have a lie down, to be fair to simon and the chaps they did something kind for a TAWer who could not make the gig. All will be revealed in due course.

Great gig in Brum last night - just got back to sunny South Wales. I spent the weekend with my brother-in-law, Bob, who took a piccy of me and Mr Pegg. I also sampled the delights of the Wellington real ale pub just down the road from the Town Hall. I've been in that pub six times in all (before and after the FC gigs in Brum for the past three years!)  [attachment deleted by admin] |

End of tour fatigue seemed to loom large to me - a great set list played accurately but with little fire in the belly. Than we had MOTL and Ken Nicol filling the big electric guitar hole at the centre of the band, I thought MOTL was the highlight for that reason, the band sounded complete. All in all a nice night out. David W |

Ha. Well, that's OK. Simon must have been feeling a bit shabby what with having been ill. I'm sure folks took it in a lighthearted way rather than thinking he was being rude. Am intrigued by the TAW connection.... Hmm..... Jules |

What Simon actually said, which caused the band (Peggy and Chris in particular) to commence giggling was that MOTL was a song that Richard Thompson had 'tossed off' many years before. Before long Simon himself and the audience had joined in the giggles. It didn't sound like end of tour fatigue to me, just a silly schoolboyish slip of the tongue....ooer missis! |

In post "day out in the big city and then a stonking gig" fatigued state i probably didn't express my self very clearly, mickf has put things in a much better way. As the person who had the pleasure/privelege/honour of sitting next to Big Dave, I'm not surprised he's fatigued. I don't think I've ever seen anyone actively enjoy a gig as much as he did on Saturday....  Mind you it was a great evening! Just for the record, here's Chris' setlist (although I guess most of it is common knowledge by this stage in the tour!)- Highlights? Too many to list. Geoff has really got the measure of Chris' voice on Reynardine and Cell Song, and Fame & Glory was an unexpected pleasure from this tour ( the whole album, sorry CD, is pretty good on first hearing). Ukelele Central is great fun - taken as Chris said from Ric's forthcoming cd "Anarchy in the Uke", it should boost sales of ukeleles countrywide! Chatting to him afterwards, Chris may post the chords on the FC website if there's enough demand... Anyway, pause for breath before the acoustic tour.....or in BD's case Cropredy, it'll probably take him that long to recover.. |

Thank you for those kind words Steve-N.......I am not sure that you should regard it as a privelige or anything! More like a bloody distracting nuisance you where very patient (and brave) thanks for your company, it was a pleasure to share the gig with you both. It was a bloody good gig as well, I was so knackered yesterday I went without my Sunday lunchtime session in the Oak  Thanks also to all those who helped with the raffle, Adrian was charm personified when we were on duty together, whereas my approach was more along the lines of demanding money with menaces The more I see in the Town Hall, the more I rate it as a venue. |
