OK, I'll start with an apology. I spelt Daltry wrong and it upset someone! Sorry!

Last night was the South east London show in Penge I think. Or Beckenham. I'm not to good at knowing where I am and it showed last night on the way home but more of that later.

We rolled up to the venue at about 4:15pm. I was following Mr Banks who had sat-nav. Saw lots of Croydon on the way. Hmmm. Nice. Great

Went through a few tunes in the sound-check and sorted out where my cup of tea would go during the gig. Very important you know. Then we were fed copious amounts of spaghetti bol which was nice. Spent a while looking at Punch magazine's "Secret Diary of John Major" and some random readers digest jokes.

The the show started and it looked like we might have nailed it until something happend with Petes wires. In the silence I wracked my brains for a joke but could only think of an inapropriate one I'd just read in the Readers Digest. Anyway, that was sorted and the gig was fun. I did my solo thing and tried a different song that someone said made me sound like Gordon Giltrap.

Great to get the audience involved and some dancing going on. Another good one but I need to sort the chords on a particular song or Niblo's going to frown me to death.

Thought I'd go the dartford tunnel way home but ended up going through the west end. No sat-nav makes life so much more enjoyable you know.

Home at 2:30am. Now to learn those chords.....

Err cough. It is Roger DALTREY. And no it wasn't me who complained. Great song btw.

I'm going to be on Mastermind soon explaining about HTB. It is Holy Trinity Beckenham on account of half of it being in Sydenham and half in Penge so as not to confuse it with Holy Trinity Penge in Anerley. (There was in fact a Penge Bungalow Murder and I can bore for England on that subject too.) 

Helen, the sound check drummer, asked why I kept explaining how to escape from this forsaken place. You may be able to tell her. Anyway since she kept saying it I didn't tell you. Sorry.

I'm pleased you found one of the newer Private Eyes. I am looking forward to reading that one.

You did well for us Rob. Wild West was an especially good bit of showmanship. Enjoy the rest of the tour.

Thanks again to all
