It hurts a lot that I - who have been wanting to catch the acoustic line-up for some years now- am not able to fit the European gigs into my life. But I am very curious to hear from you who have been lucky enough to catch them. How are the chaps doing? Views and reviews would be of interest here on the list. Keep ´em coming! Cheesy

Sorry StaFCarin no review but my view based on these two clips that I found on you-know-what-tube is that the chaps look relaxed and on fine form.

Crazy Man Michael and Danny Jack's Chase have now been added.  At this rate we'll get the whole gig and wouldn't that be nice? Grin  I wonder if FC have sanctioned this - the set-up looks professional.

From "TV-Bella" website:
"Local television for Vanlöse and Brönshöj"

So the local TV station in Brönshöj filmed the concert. Yes, it lokoks very professional...

Lovely WKWTTG.....great clips.


Even Gerry had to wipe away a tear at 1 min 34 secs.  How lovely to see that even after all these years, they still have the ability to move each other with their individual performances ... Smiley

Amazing isn't it, that SKY TV coverage of Croppers, managed to make FC sound fairly dire, and yet little old BELLA TV manage to produce something as marvellous as this!   Fez

Forgive my ignorance, but what's going on with Gerry's peculiar bass drum pedal that lies flat when depressed, and doesn't seem to hit anything?

Gerry's setup for the recent FC acoustic tours ironically uses more electronic percussion than the FC electric tours - in this case the bass drum pedal is flicking back to beat a small electronic pad to make a bass drum sound. He also plays an electronic device (known jokingly as the "toilet seat") which makes various percussion sounds, and an acoustic snare drum and cymbals.
