Shucks. What can I say? Maybe a short version as a surprise spontaneous extra encore. I said "maybe". Thing is I've got all these great new songs for you: it's time to move on. It's so hard to keep the muse in equilibrium with one's demanding fans' expectations...

You sing what you want to Hamish Dear! Don't let them heckle you into it - But that counting song is so much fun & a real challenge after a few bears...

Anyone living nearby should get along if they can, Hamish is an excellent performer & I for one would like to hear his 'new' stuff. Wish I could come along but it's too far now what with work the next day :-(

Well okay how about singing the 11,09,07,05,03,01 12,10,08,06,04,02,00 song then it will be a bit shorter. And you should not forget all your old songs, not the classic ones like the   17,15,13,11,09,07,05,03,01 18,16,14,12,10,08,06,04002,00 one. And Guru we will have to fit in an evening of all the old runners of the club, which since me and Ross are still here it will consist of YOU. Not forgeting the Anahata and Mary do 11th Oct.

Oh, all right, then - it's me. But I seemed to be slipping down the page a bit and thought I'd bump it back up and pretend that the clamour and fervour - which would be entirely justified imho - was reaching a crescendo.

Martin/Ross - I preseume that there are still tickets available?

Hi Martin/Ross,

At the end of the evening on Monday, I was asked about the first song I sung. I couldn't remember who wrote it at the time, but it was 'The Weather' by Richard Schindell. If you see the couple who sat front left (from the performer's view) before I do, could you let them know for me.

Thanks, Steve.

PS great set from Hamish - Come back to us soon!

Hello dude, rang up about the Berlingo today, and the bloke said it's straighting out very well and they are on the welding now, it should be ready in a week on Friday, so that's good. The AX seems to be fine now as well, so I can get about at least. Mind you the cassette player is rubbish, so I can't listern to "Rage Against Machine" or "Pearl Jam" And I can't fit my Guitar in the boot. Apart from that everythings great. Have a nice time in Padstow, and see you soon.
