      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

ok, you've read enough about this already no doubt so i'll keep this
short:

lows:
the wait, the crush, the heat

waiting for 30 minutes for a taxi at hemel station at 1:30 in the
morning

turning up at 3 o'clock at the poetry cafe the day after to find
no-one else there...

highs:
isobel shaking her head and frowning during the finale

'that was pish' shouted from the audience after the looper song.
must've been someone from the list. anyone care to own up?

stuart m's admittance that it was, maybe, 'ill-advised'

the bass during the aforementioned looper song, played by tony the
manager

the pub beforehand and not being able to walk 5 ft without bumping
into someone you knew

presents from thailand 8)

isobel's little disclaimer before the finale - 'i've got a frog in my
throat' - i'm sure france gall was in a similar position once upon a
time... 8)

but yeah, too many people there. i think back to edinburgh and how we
stood almost within touching distance of the band and how impossible
that'd be now a mere 18 months later... new york even, exactly a year
prior to the london gig, a medium sized venue which still had space to
move around in it...

new lp is nice. production is well done i thought. nice to be able to
hear studio versions of live favourites with all the delicacies
intact. yeah, ok, with b&s i often prefer session versions of things
cos they have more life but, hey, i have those as well...
