Re: Band News!!

["gordon" <dwilhelmi@ti...co.uk>]

  Excellent news. Not sure whether I'll make 30th or not, but would kind of
like to. I remember the Lloyds TSB Piazza striking me as quite Orwellian
/Victory Squarish when I wandered the Docks on Good Friday, but also that 
it
woud make a great music amphitheatre.

  Roy Wood brought a Big Band to Cropredy some years back, and rocked.
  On the merry way back to the tents, some wag started on ' Good-bye
Black-berry Waayyyy....' and all of a sudden 10,000 people were on it, in
the pissing rain (think Richard Thompson must have been on site ).Priceless
!

  Incidentally, John Martyn plays that Festival this year, so if any of you
friendloverplanes get to that one, you'll find me somewhere down the front
at that point, wearing a smile !

  He was actually on Island early on, therefore making this mail completely
off topic.

  OOps !
