Tomorrow we're playing at the Walkabout in Shepherd's Bush. I'm going to get round the problem of there being nothing resembling decent beer in Walkabouts (and also, incidentally, having to get my bass amp there for Debz) by driving. I'm not sure how long to allow for driving through the busier side of London through the end of rush hour but you can bet your arse I'll either be hideously late or hideously early.

It's a Battle of the Bands, which I normally don't enjoy as they depend entirely on how many mates you can summon up, but this one seems to be being judged by a panel. And the promoter is one that hasn't put us on before who tracked us down specially after hearing us somewhere else. Yeah, I'm an optimist, so sue me. But Hey! Thhinker, the newest song, really is fun, and had people dancing on Friday night and everything.

had I not managed to get tomorrow off, I'd have no excuse whatsoever as you'd be two minutes from work. nevertheless, any ideas how much in and what time you're on (and for how long)? I don't think I could cope with an entire evening of battling bands... but I still haven't actually seen you play yet...

Heh, does that mean you can tell me owt about what the venue's like? It's supposed to have decent sound, I've been told, but a pub like that doesn't seem the natural place for it.

I don't know how much it is in or whether it's anything at all, though I feel sure it must be something, but I believe we're actually on last, at about half ten. Hey, it's always good to get people along, so please feel free and all.

it's actually an old cinema, right next to Shepherds' Bush Empire. For a while it was called 'The Bottom Line', and functioned as a venue/pub. I haven't been anywhere near since it became a Walkabout pub, but hopefully the big back room (and decent stage, I recall) is still there.

I'll see how things go this evening, no promises, but... ;-)

Woah. If it's The Bottom Line as was I've got at least one recording of Hawkwind playing on that same stage as you guys were, albeit 28 years before.

Funny who you come across on here ain't it. Hope you're well. I'll look out for your band...
