Hi all, I am not taking all the merchandise to the Mersea gig, so if you know you want to buy something, let me know and I will take it to the gig for you.

Thanks

Tomorrow be the day lads and lasses.

Hope you are ready to rock (the boat!). Don't forget to check the tide times and don't forget your rubber dingy in case you get caught short!!

See you all tomorrow, beside the seaside, beside the sea!

Love &   Zippy xxxx

OK Folks listen up.  As just posted on Facebook,  IF folks will pledge £100 I will for-go my usual debonaire look for a classic 80's metal vibe complete with skin tight leggings at tomorrow night's Mersea Island gig all in aid of Comic Relief.  What better reason to donate to such a worthy cause than to see one of the band members make a complete plonker of himself.  The fund so far is up to £55 so come on folks, there's bound to be some dodgy photos at least even if you can't get to the gig itself. 

luv n hugs to one and all

Hello to me ATF buddies !

Saturday nights ATF gig on the Banksy's Mersea Island was excellent. Unfortunately I didn't video the gig, but enjoyed the show with the rest of the audience.

Great set list :- Sometimes, High Fashion, Billy Billy, I Can Say, Time To Think, Dancing in the Shadows, One Rule, Der Kom, Life in the City, Laser Love, Wild West Show, also, Rob's 1000 Miles and Dungeon Ghyl. I think that was all the songs.

Was a good turn out. There were 2 other bands playing that night also. But to me it felt like ATF were on and off so quickly, I wanted more . Was on a high by the end of their set .

Thank you to all the peeps who came to support the charity and the bands . Was good to see Jen and John again and to see new friend Julie, who is now our new ATF car share groupie! John and j-p Holt. BIG thanks to Richard for driving, and to Tim Ball and Samuel Ball Radio Thetford DJs, who have been supporting ATF by playing their songs every day (as are the other DJs)  www.radiothetford.co.uk (they are ATF gig virgins !!) Nice to see Pam and Andrea again.

Thanks to the blokes at the back, Martin, Joe, Sam and Paul .

Extra BIG love and hugs to Pete, John, Tim, Ian and Rob, who never fail to be absolutely fantastic on stage and give it their all . It did seem that Rob was itching to find something to jump off though, at the end!!

I don't think they realise how much happy they make their fans to see them still  rocking after all these years, and with new members

Oh and also thanks to the venue.

Would be fantastic to get fans together for another fan gig this year, like last years Kingston gig. Missed the fans who couldnt make it this time, including my Emoticon gang   ^^   and Leo.

Love and hugs to you all xxxx Zippy xxxx

PS: thanks to Rob for standing on my foot while running around in the audience singing Wild West Show!! xx

Well said, Wendy!    We are over the moon we can still see ATF playing live, a very big thank you guys!   It was a great show on Saturday and you took the crowd along with you.  Given the smallish packed space I thought Rob, you wouldn't be able to run about during Wild West Show, but that wasn't going to stop you, yay!   Here's to next time!  Lovely to see the friends we know already and meet new friends - John.

Lots of love, Jennie and John xxxxx
