That's funny Hereward - I can't remember me in the 70's onward either! Musta been summat I imbibed!

Yes FolkieDave - Geoff and I from th' current band were in Luigi Ana da Boys back then
(even played an open air fest in a Wakefield Park I remember, Hereward)
- we got a lot of airplay from the late great John Peel in them thar days.....
....and a recent Google search found our old vinyl on sale ont 'net' via a 'collectors site' priced at £1566 quid!!!!
....now where's that spare copy I stashed??? Hey, hey!

Big raps to the landlord of the Abbey - and especially to Wayne for a crackin' first fest attempt
- they were all enjoyin' it on the Friday when we were there. Bless ya - good luck with it next year!

Particularly liked the young man that interrupted our set by comin' an' standin' right in front of my mic....
'D'ya do requests?' he slurred...
'Will ya play Sweet Home Alabama?'... (don't think he'd got the right idea what was on....)
then he changed to ' Go on. play uzz Freebird!!!!'
Funny that! Geoff and I used to get innudated with requests for that back in the 70's....
hang on... how can I remember that, I wasn't there!

Hugs - Duncan McFarlane (who doubtless will not be remembered for the 90's and the new millenium either - ne'er mind, eh?)
