damned if I can remember the title, but it was a stomper...

It was 'In a nutshell'

Didn't know it.  He can't sing you know.

That was by those loveable baroque 60s popsters The Left Banke, 'I've
got something on my mind'.

>and Jesus and Mary Chain sung by Sarah and Chris.

'Some candy talking'

Keith's flat is very cold and he has a flatmate with a flash American
car, an old Rover and a motorbike.  But we were eternally grateful for
a roof over over our heads, thanks mate, you were the perfect
gentleman (Aggi agrees).  We did the tourist thing in 'the Athens of
the North' this morning, and are now back in Manchester which is also
cold.

No, that's no excuse

Yes.

Keith is wrong.  They are the Kings.  Who heckled?  I'll fight them,
I'm a bit tasty you know....

>enjoyable

They pulled it off pretty well (so to speak), yeah - it could have
been a bit longer, but 5 songs by B&S is worth 20 seconds of most
everybody else.  And was all for charidee.

Keith, Aggi loves Edinburgh (and is cursing not bringing her tape
recorder).  Now she's demanding left banke tapes, and Ennio Morricone
LPs.  And says thanks for everything, and I second that emotion.

That's all....
