I've got the Maze at Nottingham before then Les - god alone know how I'm going to fill THAT room - no bugger's ever heard of me. What happened was, that I got this really good review for the album in Maverick magazine. I think on the strength of that, I got the gig at The Maze.......and fair enough it was a better review than jackson Browne or Christy moore got in the same issue - you know, really detailed song by song - still it doesn't alter the fact that no bugger's ever heard of me.

I think if I survive the Maze experience - MarkeT Rasen will come as light relief! One good thing, The Maze have given me No Fixed Abode as a support act and Tony and Una have got some sort of a following - so who knows......watch this space and see Whittle go mad......to the music on his mp3!
