I never did make the Tom Robinson interview, we are rescheduling for December - I broke down early doors some 10 miles from home and the breakdown people returned me to my local garage who replaced a faulty fuel filter [the one they'd changed the previous day, oouch] - our arrival in London was subsequently delayed so we had to go straight to the venue expending altogether unnecessary energy
pleading with the parking police [I wont bore you with the details but needless to say these things do not endear me to ye olde capital, no way]. The LONDON GARAGE gig felt a bit slow to get going but we eventually engaged and delivered. The evening will be fondly remembered for meeting up post show with my old Mood Elevator friend David Ditchfield - we'd not seen each other in twenty five years, it was a pleasure to reconnect and I'm sure the story won't end there.
Brighton Komedia followed London, the gig was superb, the venue exceptional, great sound and lights - shame there was nowhere to park, and I mean nowhere. The centre of Brighton should just go ahead and ban all cars and be done with it. That way we wouldn't delude ourselves that access to any kind of load in would be remotely possible. I ended up in the NCP car park, not a good move.
The OXFORD show the next day was also a very nice show - possibly one of the best gigs we've done, naturally we didn't film that one although we have done several others and I've posted a few clips onto you tube. here's a more recent clip from the Newcastle Show with opening poem At The Hairdressers [that seems to have sneaked its way back into the set when I wasn't paying attention] and 'Judy Wood' from the current album. I'm thinking of compiling a book of poems to amuse myself we'll see. VP x
