Just an update on the latest gigs... and how they went.

PHD1, Nottingham - 15/11/2003
After a hefty amount of travelling and not much kip, we were all a little apprehensive about this one. The pub/bar/restaurant itself has just been done out and looked a little on the posh side... this was soon confirmed by the hefty price tag on the beer (�2.80!). But hey, we were in a city, and do as city folk do. Except with out the poncing around in jeans and a suit jacket with a mobile phone strapped to your ear ;)

The gig itself was a bit crazy: some sound problems (aren't there always?) and an awkward sound check whilst people were still eating their king prawns... but I think it was OK. My pa described it as 'watching Liverpool play poorly, but still score three goals to win', which I thought was a reasonable description! We went down well, but we could have played better. Hopefully next time the apprehension and awkwardness will be gone and we'll play a belter.

it would appear that overnight the band Babylon Leaf have gone missing presumed eaten each other after their van the magnificent Denmore never returned from the last gig in Ruthin, the survivors might be trying to eek out somekind of suvival on the north by north face of Moel Famau, North Wales.

It is true that Neil was quite adept at hunting shrews so perhaps the worst is just some king of horrible truth diguising its self as falsehood. our best wishes go out with them, glorious commandos of cultural exchange.
