I didn't realise we _had_ to express our interest. Gosh, no-one
told me there'd be an element of compulsion when I subscribed
to BOC-L. Some of us just sits 'n' lurks don't ya know. Well my
wife and I would be up for it, the question is how private should
a private gig be? Are we talking list subscribers plus close friends
- i.e. invitation only? That would surely boost the numbers a
little! Firm details would make support more likely but can only
happen once there are sufficient expressions of interest.

Before spreading the idea too far someone needs to talk to the
band: not the management at this stage IMO. No  point having the
idea squashed by the money men at the first step!
