Fan- fekking- tastic !
Did I mention that I got into craik with Joff after the Fiddler gig.
I was sort of chatting up Nat from Catlow, and he was guiding the punters
towards the CD that he'd played on (mandolin on Cavaliers )
Hope he links up with Les Blues again sometime, but I think he must have
got her attention, 'cause I just about remember walking back to digs in a
euphoric sulk.
