Hi people, V-Twin, who have now added Richard on percussion to their line- up, are doing a gig on Saturday at Blow-up in London in addition to the one I mentioned before in Aberdeen on Thursday. They're also trying out a novel new idea - rehearsing! They have been hidden away in Twin Towers rehearsing all last week, and don't intend to emerge 'til Wednesday. Stevie is playing guitar as well as sitar, and Chris is playing piano and synth as usual. Lots of people have been talking about Messerschmitts... I have a vague memory of once spending four years sitting in lecture theatres trying to sleep while lecturers tried to tell me how to make aeroplanes, and then getting shouted at when I tried to put the knowledge to practical use by throwing paper aeroplanes at them. The University eventually got tired of my paper aircraft, and got someone to talk to me in latin, hit me on the head with a silly hat and give me a bit of paper in a red cardboard tube which apparently proves I know lots of stuff about aircraft. Because of this I think I probably should add more trivia to the Messerschmitt discussion.. After WW2, Messerschmitt merged with Blokow-Blom (sp?) and became MBB. They made a helecopter called the MBB Bo105 (now known as the Eurocopter Bo105), which is very popular with british police forces, so Messerschmitts once again are able to strike fear into at least some of the people of Britain.
