Answers included: 1)Now we're a rock band. Hope the tide doesn't come in.
2) What did you say your name was?
3) Who's pinching my bum?
Belated caption to 1) "I didn't realise there were that many f.....g notes in a chord."
(Andy had said just blow a chord for the photo.)
1 (Spoken in a voice much too posh for Jacky)
This minimalist drum kit actually duals as a drinks cabinet. I've stocked it up with "Broons" & I think I'll ask the sax player to my right to help me consume it
2 If we ever do a gig at the Elephant together tell them I'll do it as long as there is a roady to carry my gear
3 "Gordon - how could you ever let these guys sit in with the River city?"
