Gig was bloody amazing though - Ceri's debut from what I recall.....will book a taxi this time!

It's a good venue....looking forward to it. Last time Justin asked how many of the crowd were from Bilston. Only 2 said yes. He then said "I sometimes think we exist to show you lot different parts of the world!" Priceless!

Although the conductor on the first train was quite funny -- "New Model Army, I remember them from the 80s, why are they still called "new" Model Army, why not middle aged Model Army now" :D ;D

Highly cromwellian - a pit helmet in the true sense of the word

jc - would absolutely love the Magic Bus Tour mate - just can't commit to anything with my domestic situation (school runs etc, not to mention the usual struggles to secure leave from work!). I always do a good few dates on each tour but can't always manage, say, 5 in a row....much as I'd love to. So regrettably, I'll have to give the bus a miss this year, as wonderful as it sounds (love the type of stop offs you've suggested - just my cup of tea!). Hope it all goes well mate and no doubt see you at a good few gigs.

Cheers, Barty.
