Well, I enjoyed B&S. The only problem for me was the sheer volume of
people of the place  - to be expected at a free gig, I know. Much of the
B&S music is really quiet, or starts really quiet and the noise of
people talking often drowned them out (where I was standing anyway).
But what I could hear was good.  It seems like ages ago now - maybe time
has altered my perceptions.  Monica Queen done a turn as well.  And I
was standing next to Eugene Kelly.  He looked bored.  Douglas BMX Bandit
introduced them (hee hee, it's all coming back to me now) as the hippest
kids on the street, or something like that, which I recall finding
amusing.

The big downers were I had to wait for about hour to get a pint of QM
beer, which tastes like pish (tip: If your in the QM go for bottled
beer).  And I had to listen to the Pastels (I admire the Pastels unique
placing in Glasgow pop culture and am even thrilled when I buy records
out of John Smiths on Byres Road and get served by Stephen Pastel.  I
just think his music is shite.)

I think the concert was better than it would have been if it was in the
park.  Hey I shouldn't complain though.  It was free B & S for me.

Anyone else?

Chris
