I believe no Simon at the 4th gig, the Cornwall one(?).  It was the only one
I didn't make.  If it was Cornwall doesn't seem likely Dumpy would've been
there and its the first I've heard.  Rizz was at Wavendon Stables but
arrived late & didn't manage to attract  Dave's attention.  Ron saw him and
ccould be heard shouting 'Dave, Rizz is here!'.  He ended up sitting at the
front of the stage skinning up!

Alan's return was at Hawkestra (unless you count the Hawk conventio gig at
Stourbridge with Nik, Harvey, Judge Trev & Danny).  Dumpy guested at the
Derby Rock & Blues in '99 (his birthday) and also at the re-located Rock &
Blues at Donington in '01, post-Hawkestra.
