HW: Test-tube & Belfast

[dave hall]

Pity to hear about Fred. I met him on the Earth Ritual tour and Hawkon -
nice guy. I remember meeting up with him and the others at the hotel. A posh
place too - the othe guests appeared a bit "sniffy" as various elemnts of
the band, fans etc hung about the bar. This inspired Fred to pull out the
violin and let rip with some hearty jigs. Mortification for the hotel
management - laughs for us. Good times.
