Saw them at Rheged on Saturday night....totally worth the (almost) 2 hour drive  They were all their usually friendly selves, and their set was great. Banks of the sweet primroses was simply beautiful. Think Chris sings it amazingly And John Gaudie, going in to Bowman's Retreat, was another highlight Cropredy fever is upon me already! And Whippersnapper in June. Can't wait! |

You should have seen Chris's reaction when we said we were going to Whippersnapper in Cockermouth, he was genuinely made up - said he would be working on the setlist on the next week or so. Which gig are you going to Tamlyn? There's a few of us booked into a campsite in Cockermouth to make a weekend of it - you are welcome to join the party..!

My wife and kids are leaving me because of my obsession with horse racing. They're at the gate now. And they're off!

I kicked myself (not literally!) as I chatted to Chris about 3 times on Saturday night at Rheged and totally forgot to mention the fact I'll be seeing him in Whippersnapper in June!
I'll be at The Sage, Gateshead. Can't wait! Although no camping unfortunately!
So Chris, if you're reading this, I'll see you at The Sage (btw, I'm the one you said looked like a cross between your daughter and Kelly While!)
Anyway....back on topic!
Acoustic Tour is great....

I just thought some people might not want to see it if they've got tickets for the tour....they might want it to be a surprise!

Start a spoilers thread, so those who want to know can see and those who don't can't |

We are supposed to be at Chesham at this very moment, but unfortunately poor hub has flu and is coughing horribly as I speak. (....err.....tap) Oh well! never mind, will have to make do with "Waking the dead"......entertaining and gripping but perhaps not quite as musical |

Just booked for Southampton on 29th and was asked if I was over 18 (it was on the phone ). Apparently the venue has such a policy! |
