Totally agree

Don't agree about Moonglum,Hugh was not into it,specially his singing (too
flat)


> Oh, and managing to get rid of my spare ticket at the last minute :-)

Well,that wasn't much of a problem I think as some 20 people asked me if I
had spare tickets

More than agree with the above.

Still more agree.Don't understand why people go to a concert and stay at the
foyer the whole time??
Why pay for seeing Hawkwind and not atend.Go to a club.

Don't agree with that.Sam Fox was just funny to see 1 time.You don't suggest
she be the next Hawkwind vocalist?
That's not my idea of Hawkwind,just tits and ass and clap your hands and
stamp your feet?
Had a great laugh when she came on stage the first time but the second time
was to much for me.More screeming than singing.
Must agree Ron wasn't at his best last evening,seen him much much better.


> Mark (Hasbeen) - drop me an email about the mpeg.

What's this all about?
