People think its all glamour* but belive me it isnt. Quite agree. During my short lived musical career, I just seemed to spend hours in a smelly, deafening room with people sneakily turning their amps up, getting sick of tea and coffee, and then spending hours in a car/van/bus with the same bunch of baskets, dreaming of my own bed. At least you've got some fans.

Bet yer didnt know the Specials nearly played another secret gig before Xmas.. Really? Please elucidate. With Madness is my guess. I agree about the support bands. I like to see a reggae band before a ska band, get in the mood without blowing all my adrenelin, and local bands would have been in keeping with the Specials ethos. Is the pop ska band American?

Sorry to hear about your back butt.
I can't decide whether to say 'Good lad' for telling the capitalist to stuff it, or 'Are you mad?"

Is it Kid Britain, the pop ska band? They wouldn't be mananged by Steve Blackwood/well (can never remember his feckin name) would they? Would have been nice for Kifaru to have made the bill at the Ricoh but ah well :-(
