OK - I might have missed this but are we meeting at the Beehive still, if so
at what time and where's Bernard these days - after all wasn't it his idea??
Also, due to what may well turn out to be an impending ****-up in the making
by Tuesday, is there anyone going to the gig from Scotland (I'm in Dundee
but prepared to drive to where you are, as long as it's not John O'
Groats!!!) with a spare place in a vehicle who wouldn't mind me joining in
return for a fuel contribution - if so, e.mail me at:
andygee at dial.pipex.com
but don't expect a reply till Tuesday as I'm in......errrr, London actually,
doing the 'Music For The Thrid Millennium' festival thing this Saturday.
All offers welcome.
Andy Garibaldi (CD Services)
