Sorry chaps, life suddenly got busy & I've managed to do sod all with Mr B. Will get him down to a gig at the weekend and then send him on.

Of course.  Just got a pair of freebie tickets to Gabriel at the Hop Farm on Friday night too!!  So...2 ex-genesis members in two days - I'd call that a result.  8-)

Maybe I should get Hackett to sign the banana??

Is no-one else going to see he amazing Mr Hackett on Saturday?

I hear Lee Pomeroy might be guesting too - although that could just be the rumour mill.  If anyone IS going, drop me a line and I'll meet you for a Harveys at the bar.

Thanks for the heads up.  Automatic purchase after The Underfall Yard which after a years constant abuse I've now pretty much decided is my all time favourite album.

Do we know if there are any guest spots on English Electric?  Jem was surely too busy  

Big Banana (aka Prog Torch) successfully made the journey from a birthplace of Prog to Againesis in East Sussex at lunchtime.

Completely forgot to check it was in the post box this morning but will rescue His Yellowness as soon as I get back from work.  Has anyone figured out if he plays keys or guitar yet?

Definitely enjoying MOTP but personally I don't think it's reached the lofty heights of TTS. Then again, that's not exactly a criticism as I consider TTS to be one of the most consistently brilliant CDs of the last 10 years.

The companion live CD is jolly good too.

Cartoon Gravey (!) so far my favourite - but it don't half sound like Firth of Fifth at the start (especially the Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited version)

WHOM?

Think you might of missed Pedders's acronym-tastic pun there Mikey

Bit late notice but this lot will all be playing at a fairly new prog venue in East Sussex - Trading Boundries - on Thursday.

Oh...and Roger Dean's doing a Q&A too.

Would be great to see any of you there - I'll be packing a Frosty T.

Well....the year was over after December 16th no?

T'was indeed a brilliant way to start each day in December. Opened it up each morning as the kettle boiled. Thanks all those involved. Now - how about one of those 365 day desk calendar thingies? Can you sort that out in 5 days Mr Hippo?

Love it. iPhone skin ordered already. It'll look great on a tshirt too. I wonder if they've thought of that???

Saving up now but plan to have a 61key one installed above my OASYS 88 before the end of the year.

...That I just uploaded my band's new website.  Only a covers band but hey...it's beer money.  Would much appreciate any comments on the site design etc. //http://www.far-cry.co.uk
Ta muchly

I had a great time! The journey was quite exhausting and expensive, but it was all worth it! Wouldn't have missed it for the world. I'll be there again next year, if I can afford it.

Ahhh - was that you and Mrs Pajter then stood right in front of me on the steps next to the sound desk?  Or did we have more than one set of Dutch visitors?
