Ah well, anyone else up for tickets to Adam on Friday? |

He's prone to patterned jumpers and check shirts He'll sing at the drop of a hat. So keep a tight grip on yer bunnet. Oh - and don't try to accompany him on an instrument when he sings. He feckin hates that. He's been known to machine gun people who started to strum along with him. Cheers SD
