Micheal, it's gorgeous! Can I make a bit of a confession? To understand this, you must take into account that we've been playing together for five years. Over that time we have made changes to personnel and material, we've done crappy gigs, had wonderful nights, and share a huge amount of memories. And it's culminated in this. Whilst driving back with the cd on in the car, thinking about all this, David Oakley's Abbefeale actually caused me to burst into tears. I always knew it would do that to me one day. Today was the day, when I least expected it.

Thankyou, David. From the bottom of my heart. And Mick, and Andy, and Nikki, and John Smith, for giving me so much joy over the last five years. I shall treasure that time forever. Sounds corny, but I wanted to tell you that.

Long live the music. See you at Durty Nellies next saturday for more of the same.
