Yep, Gareth, I've missed the banter and golden nuggets of Steve Thomas' forum also. I think Facebook and it's brethren turned the type. They call it progress, if that makes any sense. I can only report what you already now know; Everybody seemed to have a great time in Glasgow last Friday. Sound was awful for vocals, but sonic guitars x4 led us by the nose. If it is any compensation, I spent 15 odd years getting out to Bristol for Christmas gigs from London, fell in love with the place so much I moved here last winter, only to find that gigs were to be in Glasgow, and LONDON !
Now, does that make any sense ?
A word in your ear, though, Fleece still has no act booked for Friday 1 December. Gordy

WTF???
this thread has seemingly been dead for years and all of a sudden Mike's email drops and I discover, from the website, that there was an album out earlier in the year, and there were gigs to promote it which were cancelled, and now rearranged, and Gerald's had cancer...?!?!? Also they're playing in London this Friday I see....sadly I'm at a funeral all day and evening....


I can't believe there weren't emails about it, so how have I've not seen them???

tell me more more folks....what else have I missed?

After April's cancellation, I'll admit I was worried most of the week

whether or not last night's show at Stereo would go ahead. But go ahead it

did, thankfully.


Gerard seemed to enjoy himself, even if he understandably didn't have the

same energy as previously. The set was a couple of songs lighter than in

recent years, but that's understandable too.


The sound was a bit aggressive, which affected all the vocalists to some

extent at different times, but, you know, guitars!


Mike, Bec and Rita all had their own turns - M&B their current songs from

Culture Gun, but I'm not sure what Rita's was - fairly sure it wasn't the

previously played The High and The Mighty (the chorus might have been

variations on Who's in my head/ Who's in my bed). If anyone can update

setlist.fm with the correct song title, that would be cool.


Nick Jacobs guested on 'Warhol's Fifteen' and the encores.


Otherwise, it was a predictably great show and it was so good to see them

again.
