Hello Sinister. It's been periodical. I went to see them at Sheffield, one of the universities I think, about eight years back, and there was talk of meeting in the pub beforehand. We went there, to the *something* Cat (Cheshire? Squinting?) for some of their huge range of mad continental beers with percentages more akin to wine than ale and to scout the situation. There was a big table of people that I thought must be them, you. Slightly too mismatched to be regular friends, a few people returning the meerkat bar-scanning behaviour looking for likely recruits, you can picture the scene. Anyway, I bottled it and didn't go over, and stayed with my friends and my pint. Clearly I should have made a move. Wasn't there an upside-down badge thing? Anyway, suffice to say, the pub was further from the venue than we thought, and I got a whacking blister on me heel walking there with my new trainers, and the latter half of the gig is a bit hazy (see above). Fun though. I haven't heard the new stuff yet. I hope you're all as well as can be hoped.
