Tour Diary Number 1
OK, 'tour diary' is a little bit of a misnomer as we are still in rehearsal mode as the tour doesn't start for another week! However, we have just finished a stint of work in the rehearsal rooms in Dagenham, in the shadow of the stadium of the great and mighty Daggers... and things have been going splendidly well.
So What's New?
Well, we have dug into the archives and re-learnt a couple of songs we haven't done for... 25 years and tampered with lots of the regular ones! We have continued to develop our new approach of playing songs semi-unplugged too, in fact, some songs are sounding even betterer!
Special Guest
Yesterday (Thursday 24th Oct 07) Rob Halligan came down to work with us and we have learnt some of his songs as well as him learning ours. Just wait until you see his incredible slap-acoustic approach to Der Kommissar!!!
Practice some Moves!
So, just one week to go, a full gear rehearsal next week followed by one day of tweaking and that's it, Friday we kick off at Farncombe Music Club...

Can't wait!

I know the song from the chords that John teased us with in the clip! Glad we've got our tickets.

Are you sure you didn't dream that before she drifted through the mist?

Yes, some of us have got it, haven't we? It cannot be said of the band and of its fans "Her flags were high, her sails were set, but all her crew had gone"... unless my family are the only ones at Pontefract!

Just noticed Pete's edit above, agree a good sound from the Tyros.

Pete, was it purchased specifically to be a close reproduction of the Yamoha knowing you might possibly be on the road again, or was it bought with the intention of just playing for fun or in the church worship environment?.
