Atleast if all goes well I'll be able to drop by a few of you next year and educate you about chocolate digestives and tea

That same band indeed. From the Canterbury Prog Rock scene circa 71. Though most of the original members went off to join Gong and got lost in their personal magic teapots. And those of you who know my musical tastes will know how much I don't listen to that music and then garner how important gigging is to me.
Though the band seemed to have gone for more melody over wig out in recent years. The stuff we did yesterday was great. Carnival, blues, country, jazz, metal, bebop. A very experimental band indeed.

And the singer owns a guitar shop!

Cheers for the well wishes gang. Apparently were across the pond for around three months (June to Aug). So plenty of time to share a jar with anyone who wants to. Oh and the Tasman is not out of the question. The Singer's attitude is, if theres a gig, we'll go and make it happen.
Who knows, if I'm lucky, I may get to kidnap Vinnypop and down a Jar with Blertes.

Hey Nick - have ya started any rehearsals yet or are ya just learning some of their tunes so far?

Continued best wishes mate!

Please no shotguns hanging in the back window of pickup trucks, dukes of hazard/Smokey and the Bandit style driving. Camping in the woods with annoying students making a documentary about local folklore. Mild mannered scientists with a tendency to turn green and shout Aaaargh alot when they stub their toe. Any kind of people with white pillowcases over their heads, big black dogs with orange eyebrows, bear wrestling WWF lessons, or people throwing tea into the sea shouting pi** off English.
