Corker - and absolute corker of an evening. Martyn at his best gave us 90 minutes of cracking songs, including some of his newest ones intended for the next album (soon, Martyn, soon!). I was blubbing quietly in the corner (he has that effect on me, with his wonderful voice), but I saw a few misty eyes round the room.

Once more, the floorspots are showing the strength the club has built over the years both in residents and frequent visitors: Clive and Sue Carey, Lynne Heraud, Chris Flegg, Steve Last and Christine Connolley all delighted us with a variety of sounds from trad to contemp, not to mention the Birthday Boy himself.

Ah, did I forget to mention that it was Breezy's NNNth birthday? Well, we surprised him (and embarassed him, no easy feat) with one of Christine's stunning creations (and a cake). And he paid us back with "Swallow's Wing" and "Stilts" (the latter with yours truly, including all the latest "moves" - The Shadows? Ptui!)

And of course, to cap it all for me, GREECE BEAT FRANCE at Euro 2004... But then, it was no more than I expected - see my post above this.
