Don''t mind that.
Reveal your true showbiz face Lionel.
HMHB??

Don't be so coy, Lionel.

On second thoughts, I should leave it up to Lionel as to whether he wants his former band to be 'outed'.

For reasons that straddle Fraud, Personation, Passing Off and Copyright Breach -No there won't.

Indeed we are!

Not sure what the admission is yet but we'll price it to sell anyway ...likely scarcely more than the price of a pint.

New HMHB LP out next monday. Can't wait.
Now I must be away to work on my Birkenhead dipthongs.

It was well worth the price anyway. Very enjoyable gig after a not very enjoyable football game.

Thanks. Sorry I didn't say hello ...or maybe I did I dunno -I forgot to enquire of people if they were foot.ie folk.

We really enjoyed it too. A great little crowd well up for it. Hoarse and tired today now but very pleased.

I'm hopeful I got an audio recording of a good bit of it but the yoke ran out of juice so I can't check til monday.

Thanks again.

You couldn't miss us, we were right under your nose

Thank God you played Trumpton, that heckler was getting annoying.

feckin tell me about it. I was listening to a recording of the gig last night and the cupid stunt shouts for it a couple of times during 24 Hour Garage People.

He was getting messier and messier all evening as well AND he didn't pay in. Five measly quid and Uber-fan couldn't reach into his pocket. I was just glad he stayed as far back as he did.

Couple of the audio tracks might be presentable so I'll link back if we post them on the myspace. If you know any of the folks there with cameras you might urge them to send on a link.
