OOhh thanks for that Jude... so pleased it went well but why the early finish??
I guess that's the "timing and licensing issues" Jude spoke of. That was it exactly..... |

They played Matty at Southport as well, complete with an excellent electric intro from SN

That's another topic. I only mentioned it because Simon did, several times However, there were still people milling around after 11.00pm, which was about when we left. Eating cake, mostly. |

The last I saw of the cake was a not very big pile of crumbs (double fist if that) being oggled by a young girl (about 7). They probably didn't last much longer.
Others have spoken about the gig itself. I'm pretty bad at reviews, so I'll just say "wonderful" - for both groups and their combinations.
I was amazed by how quiet the town centre was at night. I was staying at The Bell, and reduced to a fast food kebab. I heard / saw very little traffic after 23;00. Perhaps the curfew is enforced by shoot on sight patrols.

Thanks Mart! I've never been called "burly" before. Usually it's chickenlegs or foureyes. Burly Bernie |

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but here is a video of Beth singing WKWTTG at Croydon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tcYesLREcI The sound quality isn't very good, but it shows what talent that girl has |

It might be nice, but I'm afraid I didn't get beyond this line "Even in the early 80s when - let's not split what's left of hairs here - they were rubbish" which is about the most inaccurate and misinformed distortion of the (well, my!) truth there is. They were magnificent in the early 80's... |

I think that's the oblique point the reviewer is making.... |

And very good they were too. I can prove both points. |

I'm sure I saw the Pegg Nicol Rowlands Swarbrick line up in the early 80s, after the "farewell" tour.
