May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
My flight home this evening was cancelled and my very gracious host is keeping me accommodated for another night. All the breakdown of the gig will come soon. It might be a short review when I got to it. The very short review is – myself and my gig buddy, Ruth, got absolutely DRENCHED and…
On the train from Gatwick Airport to get to ma pal’s at Reading. Left Glasgow in the pishing rain at 16 degrees. It’s now 30 degrees where I am. AM ROASTIN! Minds, Deacon Blue and Caezar at Blenheim Palace tomorrow. Meant to have brought the weather with me for it. Yay! More to come!
