Blimey - none of the chaps thought they'd ever played Glos before.
I might be getting a little confused actually (as the FCCB Portsmouth gig was definitely in the summer)...I think there is some stuff on here (TAW) about it being a New Year's Eve gig...? Do a google search for Fairport Convention Ceilidh Band and I think you'll get to the threads. I can't search properly as I'm at work at the moment...
I can't remember trips out for work I had 25 years ago and more...I don't see why they should be any different
I'm sure it was Gloucester and New Years Eve, as I was staying with some friends in the Forest of Dean at the time, and we decided on the spur of the moment to do it. I seem to remember that it was in a Lesiure centre...
This was the thread where it was mentioned before:
