An altrication between Tup and Bruce occured on the Thursday evening shorly after arriving at Saltburn Festival and setting up.

Bruce is a beautiful black and Tan dog who is on duty as guard dog at Saltburn. Tup is the mystical, ginger, bengal tiger eyed cat, often seen in company with Magician and hanging around the food tent at festivals.

Bruce, it transpired, adores chasing cats. Tup on the other hand takes umburance at having her bum sniffed!! If was the latter that caused Tuppy to swear rather loundly and hiss, arch her back and swear some more.

Bruce being quite undisturbed by this, continued his investigations. All of a sudden, wamp, bang Tup lashed out and swiped Bruce accros the nose, at which, naturally, he backed off. No harm was done but there after Bruce, although quite interested, kept a healthy distance.

Each sighting of Bruce resulted in Tuppy once again swearing loundly, hissing and arching her back.

(Tuppy had also added to here claim to fame by autographing Marie Little's guitar case and also tying up her gutiar machine heads whilst Marie was performing in Moor & Coast)
