Re: Details of new 7" single to be released theFleecegig

["Philip Hendry" <philip.hendry@bb...co.uk>]

Sounds like a sub Planes to me - I'd rather wait for the real
thing.....although I urge everyone to check out Sleepy Sun and The
Soundcarriers...nothing like the BAs except for the craft, musciallity
and attention to audio excellence...

Chris,
I think we all very much support and thank you for keeping us 'in the
loop'.

Yes, some have grumbled that you've been telling us the new album is
just round the corner and yet another year will soon be with us without
a release.
What I hadn't realised before, but you've now clarified (though I
probably should have realised in the first place!!) is that Gerald works
at his own pace, with numerous changes of mind!!!

Please continue to keep us as informed as you've always done; we'll just
need to curb our enthusiasm and remember this is Gerald we're dealing
with!!

Whilst waiting I would point fans to the back catalogue of 'The Hold
Steady', which i can't remember anyone else suggesting.

Very BA like (talker rather than singer),  though they sadly lack any of
the amazing variation that we BA fans love, they play just one single
rock mode, but they do it rather well!!!
First album 'Almost Killed me' sets the tone perfect, avoid this years
release 'Heaven is Whenever' though, rather poor to say the least....

Not sure I can make the 2nd, but hope all things work smoothly.

Thanks again Chris, keep up the good work
Gareth

        Trev:
        They used to serve a beer called DogBolter which was rocket fuel
- do you still serve that?
        

        Me:
        Sadly not.  That was a brew from way back when the Fleece had
its own brewery on site.  Bristol Best was the other one if I recall
correctly.  The Dogbolter was the stronger of the two, and I can't
really improve on Trev's description - rocket fuel!
         
        I was there last Friday night (for the excellent Hazel Mills /
Revere / Thomas Truax gig) and I'm pretty sure there was no hand pumped
ale, although they did have an "ale" on keg - I know that sounds wrong,
but it was a beer that you usually find on pump in keg form.  I think it
was Bath Ales Gem, but I'd already had a couple in the Seven Stars next
door (now that IS a pub for the real ale connosuier), plus at least a
couple more at the gig, and the memory is a little hazy.
         
        Given its history it seems wrong that the Fleece doesn't have
any proper ale on, but then the past few years going down there I've
been to many gigs where the ale either wasn't on or didn't taste great,
and it was usually either Bass or Old Speckled Hen, nothing interesting.
One of the problems with having a pub that isn't open every night and
suffers from wildly fluctuating attendances (depending on who is
playing) is that keeping an ale is more difficult.
         
        Anyway, being a vinyl junkie (though not as bad a one as Rocker)
I look forward to the 7" single.  Limited edition vinyl singles are de
rigeur nowadays, so they are just moving with the times.
         
        I'm happy to wait for the album, whatever it ends up being
called.  I'd have preferred to wait a bit longer for Altitude as well as
I thought it was a good collection of songs shoddily recorded, same with
the Roundheads disc of Cavaliers.  A bit more time spend on them would
have improved the sound immensely in my opinion.
         
        Not 100% sure I'll make this gig yet, but I'm working on it!
         
        Many thanks to Chris for keeping us all informed - its good to
have a man on the inside!  Remember guys - he may not always tell us
what we want to hear, but don't shoot the messenger.

about the upcoming Killing Joke gig at the Fleece, which sadly I can't
make either)
