As a fellow Somerset-dweller, I remember once seeing Heavenly in Yeovil 
(admittedly on the "Crap Towns" tour). It was a bit of a novelty though, and 
everyone from age 12 upwards had turned out, making it feel like your cousin's 
wedding or something (kids running around and sliding across the dancefloor in 
their best frocks etc.). I half expected to find a table full of pork pies and 
sausage rolls at one end of the room.

Matt from Sarah Records looked genuinely scared throughout, and ended up 
standing next to me and my pal from Burnham-on-Sea nursing a pint of lager and 
fidgeting like crazy.

Later, there were lots of fights outside kebab shops, but I understand this 
happens a lot in Yeovil.

Wasn't PJ Harvey and her band a local too? 

Mike (in Weston-super-Mare)
