Aah had hoped te be there with Banjo Bill McKinnon as 'Nine Mile ide' but it's not te be so aah'm ganna try to get a couple of gigs close to home that weekend.

When is "The Gather" as me and TLS would love te see yez again - Last year's was where we met aall you lovely people for the first time.

By The Way - If yez are booked in te the Cromwell Hotel, pray te God that ye're MILES away from the 'Gents' - The stench permeates the top floor summat dreadful.
