I know I played more than this- but these tracks are so short, you have to be lightnin' fast and I hadn't planned for that- every few tracks was a panic attrack- throw something on the turntable to keep it all going while you juggle sleeves, inner sleeves, vinyl, CDs, half a lager, a pair of glasses and a conversation in which you are trying to give the impression of being too cool for words. Oh boy, talk about adrenaline! I fell asleep on the train home.

Can we buy a copy at your gig in the OLD BULL. Later in NOVEMBER. It'll save us the postage, and give us, (Your Loyal Fans) something extra to look forward to, Is it:(A) A FANZINE,(B) A Bus Time Table,(C) A recipe Book,(D) Something else?
Even cool, adrenaline-fuelled people fall asleep sometimes, Helen!!
You did great!
I really enjoyed your set. Some top tunes in there, some of which I haven't heard since my old rockabilly days of the early eighties.
Fantastic.
