we have a friend who works in Missing, and we told her about the gig after
Stevie's girlfriend invited us. Stevie did play a short set of various tracks
in the small bar just before quarter to Midnight, included were a few covers
like The Carpenters "Top of the world". It was a lovely night with Chris,
Richard, Neil, Chris's brother amoungst others turning up to offer their
support.

so there you go, you heard it from us (2 people down the whisper line), and it
did happen.

also, Sandy Nelson (who in the Century Of Fakers video was the one who opened
the Java café) did a little guitar set of satires. It rates as the funniest
thing I've ever heard, so if you're in Glasgow and see him advertised as
playing anywhere, go see him.
