I concur - though I haven't seen the vid footage, I've been around long
enough to know about Ginger's more unfortunate(?) personality

(taxes?) & according to a second hand report of Jack Bruce's interview on
Jonathan Ross, GB is now living in semi-squalor in South Africa & is broke
(again!).

Yes... big oops there - I'd even cut Andy's mail addy ready to overwrite
after I hit reply - but I never put the two items in the same mail for that

where I live. Limited crash space available for after the Hitchin Town Hall
