One of my highlights at Sidmouth was discovering Last Orders...... Heavens knows what they'll be up to in a few years time - watch out for them.

One of the things I hope they will be up to is getting Joe's sister to sing. Marie Louise O'Connor is by far the best young singer I have heard in years. She already sings on their record and beat Joe in a young performers competition last year.

And no, the mini melodeon workshop didn't happen, after a communication mixup, but the offer's still on!

Damn - Ruth there is always a place in my gazebo for you.......
