Summers End Defence Of The Realm Attire!

[Fogeyspasm]

The other kino track was keep a light on and the two marillion tracks were afraid of sunlight and the space. Don't know if Blunders phil collins gorilla drum fills count as a track though. You had to be there to understand what I mean. Think cadburys milk chocolate ad with gorilla mask!

Managed to survive the whole gig in all the flying gear due to willpower and a stiff upper lip.
Nearly melted though!
Took a few photos and a bit of video. Will post monday.
Nice to meet everyone again. See u all at the dvd shoot and Manchester!

I saw a picture of him with the gorilla mask and wondered what that was all about!

VERY rough setlist.

1. The Dividing Line
2.
3. Something about a "Soldier of Fortune." Really good bass.

LAST. Black Light Machine

ENCORE. Loser's Day Parade

Truth be told, I'm completely unfamiliar with the back catalogues of all the bands except Frost*. I should work on this, though. Cracking gig.

The Soldier of Fortune you mention is called "Camouflaged in Blue" it's part of the track All of The Above by Transatlantic

During the show the phone rings and they, being true gentlemen, stop the show to answer it. For the 2J's and an A show it was Andy. Pearls of wisdom (?) are then discussed, which is really funny
For this show the 'guest phone call' (which is bits of recordings of interviews) John was 'chatting' with Phil Collins about his solo albums
At the end of one of the sequences, unknown to John, Blunders had put on the Gorilla mask and gave us the Cadbury Chocolate advert drum solo

Great night, made more memorable by all those who dressed up. How the hell you lot survived I have no idea.
It was bloody hot enough without wearing leather flying jackets

I was worried that I might not be warm enough in my Kriegsmarine attire, and almost wore a t-shirt under it - I was so glad I didn't as I think I would have melted!

Just got back from the best time I've ever had anywhere ever. Big thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful event, to Fogeyspasm for the lift down there (he deserves a medal for staying in his flight gear all through Defence!) and to the wondreful RacingHippo for transporting me all the way back to headquarters when my train plans got royally stuffed.

I suggest you salute him next time you see him as he really is a super top bloke.  

Right, more later. I need to recover...

...They played a bit of Transatlantic?! Hooray!

Some fab outfits here:-

[Pedro]

The bloke on the left looks dodgy to me, did anyone check ID?

[gr8gonzo]

No, but soon after this photo, he pulled a LEGO from his pocket and never saw Jane Seymour again.

[RacingHippo]

Looks like a spy to me.
I mean - you can't tell me that 'tache is real!

[Fogeyspasm]

I got a dodgy tache from the one on the left!
Damn it
Looks like a jerry too! :lol:

[sawtooth]

Well  I think both sets of facial topiary are moustachtic! Brilliant cossies.
