Re: New UK date 2013?
Hi UB
Do you know when exactly? One of my wife's friends is a resident of Derry and has asked us over to take in the Capital celebrations, this could be very timely indeed.
[ btw - have you checked your entry in the Trading section recently?]

Take care

Re: 40 Terrible Albums by Great Artists - Guess which EC alb
It's North that gets my vote in this "Terrible" category. It's his Marmite album ( although I actually like Marmite) and I know plenty think it's great, it's just that I don't get it, any of it. However to be fair I do like the cover.

Can anyone throw any light on why the UK tour with 17 dates is called the 13 Revolvers tour? 13 Revolvers.jpg Any relation to 13 steps lead down (to the auditorium)? Does this suggest that four dates will not feature the wheel? MOOT ...........or is it just that next year is 2013 ? :wink: Hope it's...

We were very lucky in Granada Land to have Tony Wilson getting these acts airtime.
