I walked into a club one night ages ago. I had not even taken my guitar off me back let alone had a swallow of beer and I was asked if I wanted to start the night off. I said :Well let me get in the bloody door for God Sakes.

Another thing, I always has a discipline tune up my guitar before I play it. There,s nothing worse for me then trying to sing tuneful, with a guitar that sounds worse then I do. The amount of folk who get up on stage and start fiddling about with machaine heads twinging and twanging through a open mike.

I was at Blackheath the other week there were four blokes on stage they were only up for two numbers? They had stood about all night waiting for there slot and then when its time to go up they decide to tune there guitars. on stage infront of all and sundry.sounding like Alley cats Sh---ing in a alley. Its awlful.


Right so I like to get in have a beer tune my guitar and relax for a while.

I played at Blackheath the other week and having taken time to do all the things mentioned above I still went on stage nervous. so I shut me eyes and away I went suddenly I started to get (SERVIOUS DANCE trapped nerve. I think thats the way one spells it) in both legs below the knee. By the time I had finished i was more or less doing the Can Can.. But afterward folk said to me nice song one said I liked the fancy foot work. Silly A..e

Finally Hasling people and bringing them to the attenion of others does not help a nervous person like meself play.
