  With little to go on in advance regarding personnel, it was fantastic to 
gradually see the faces in the crowd and realise just how good it was 
going to be.
  Eventually realised that it was John Langley crashing out the rythm for 
the second support.( was I the only person who enjoyed them ?).
  Then Deb pointed out that Wojtek was standing next to me. She recognised 
the shirt first.
  Then spotted Rodney propping up the bar.
  Also realised eventually that the guy standing on the stairs behind us 
was Nick Jacobs.

  Then, they are on.Never fully appreciated what a big fella Gerard is, 
and what a suit !
  Alex Lee, looking, and sounding, more like Alvin circa Woodstock.

  The set list was taped to a monitor just it front of us, so quickly 
realised it was indeed going to be a concert of the album of the book of 
the same name etc.
  I doubt they've EVER played it better.
  Wojtek swinging from the ducting above the moshers, Gerard at one point 
wanting to do a Rod Stewart with the mike stand, and being foiled by the 
same ducting not four inches above his head !

  Nick Jacobs firing in Razorwalk for the encore, EVERYBODY firing off for 
Breaking...

  A brilliant return !

  Good to meet up with Eyvind and the Norwegians before hand. 
  Eyvind, did you manage to get Gerard to pledge a gig in Norway ?

  Two questions.

  Who was the fella playing Mandolin ?
  Who was the MC ?

  Tickets are indeed on sale for Mean Fiddler 6th April.

    Now I'm really jealous!  I'm glad everyone had a good time and that 
the show was great.  I really hope we get a show in New York!



    P.S. The Editors LP is great!

    Hi All,

    This is the first time I've said anything here, normally just read 
everyone elses postings.  Couldn't agree more about the gig last night I'd 
almost forgotten how good live they are, as I've never been able to get to 
the Bristol shows.  First saw them (and memory might be a little hazy 
here) supporting Voice of The Beehive (I think) at the Town and Country 
Club in Kentish Town (not sure about that either).  I don't know what year 
that was but the last time I saw them was the 10th anniversary concert 
(Mean Fiddler Harlesden?).  With 'Weightless' and 'Stones' still ringing 
in my ears my first job this morning was to book my tickets for the 6th of 
April, second job was to order Swagger to replace my worn out vinyl copy.  
Can't say I liked the two single support acts but do the three Aeroplanes 
who did their own set have a band name?  Going to see The Cribs, The 
Ordinary boys, Editors, Kaiser Chiefs, Placebo and The Paddingtons over 
the next few months too, so it's a great time for bands at the moment as 
far as I'm concerned, although at 45 (46 on April 9th) I know I should 
have grown out of all this by now, but I hope I never do.



    KuyaColin.



    P.S. I hope I'm not being too rude hear but: when did Rodney Allen 
leave the band and Ian Beale take his place?  'One Rodney Allen, There's 
Only One Rodney Allen!'
