Helllooooooo!
Well what a weekend. Didn't all run smoothly but had lots of laughs nevertheless.

Saturday night my dad had to leave the works do early as he was throwing up like a trooper, bless him.

He was throwing up because YOU
insisted on doing The Millennium Prayer on karaoke. Again.

Don't act soft...
You know very well because it's in your band's set-list.

His version has a wanky guitar solo in the middle
and he gurns so hard he dislocates his cheeks.

we don't do covers
our singer/guitarist has enough trouble remembering our own songs (which he has written almost all of) let alone other people's

Not even 'The Final Countdown?'.

the only cover we have ever done is a rocking version of Bad Guys from Bugsy Malone

my lot used to to do the Grange Hill theme as an encore
we couldn't remember anyone else's either. Although we did do Glorious Om Riff by Gong but that has no words. We frequently fucked it up, too.

Got any Hillage or Gong yet?

excellent
not yet, my memory has been shocking recently.

In fact, I only just remember that I'm seeing Seth Lakeman tonight.

You mentioned this chappie the other day
What's his bag? Would I like him?

it's modern folk stuff, but on proper old school folk subjects
he's a young chap who lives on dartmoor, recorded his first album in his kitchen. had to turn the fridge off while recording each take.

He plays a mean fiddle, some weird 4 stringed guitar thing, and sings well

I think he's awesome, particularly live

I like folk provided it isn't twee
Being a history buff I think the old traditional songs are a superb - they're a direct source of the voices of normal people, who aren't usually represented in history books. My grandfather was a renowned expert on Scottish folk songs, and as such was the editor of The Oxford Book of Ballads.

He was throwing up because he hadn't eaten all day and we were let down at the Indian.
We got in for 7pm and some people still hadn't had their main meal by 11pm.

Most people were too pissed to eat by that time.
