Unfortunately, jOhn didn't get the messages and turned up with his friend - Mandolin Malcolm at the Hase. He was told that musicians were not welcome and to leave forthwith - not even allowed to stay for a drink of bear9. I am glad they made it to the Sloop in Barton for the naked session and seemed to enjoy it. £139 went to Kingston in some sort of settlement (brokered by Kofi Annan). That should see his return to the Mudcat. jOhn and Mandolin Malcolm's treatment at the Hase was not good, people.
