Clasp Hands

Pacifying Joint
Ride Away
What About Us ?
Mountain Energei
Blindness

Short set due to strict 2300 curfew and MES not getting back until 2215, anyway band on stage a few minutes later and finished set after 2300 curfew but came back for an encore after a bit of a wait and finally left stage at 2315. Band weren't allowed to have monitors on stage and sound wasn't as loud as Leeds & Nottingham. Crowd reasonably animated, not many faces I recognised though. Did bump in to Wee Davey from this forum and head of creative arts from my place of work. Spoke with Ding and Ben afterwards briefly and found out I had stayed at same hotel as them in Leeds. As I left the venue I saw Mr James who had missed his cue to duet on Touch Sensitive though he didn't know what the song was called, the hey hey one he called it

did you meet any of the smith family on these recent outings. i believe you have a good relationship with the sister???

No, not this time though I'm not sure that they were at any of the gigs.

I only spoke to Mark's sister briefly it was his mum I spoke at length

oh really,
what was his mom and sister like?

Normal down to earth people.

What does his sister look like?

There was a woman at the MK gig.

First she put some bar staff straight when she overhead them saying that JCC was crap, and next I saw her backstage with JCC and The Campest Man in the World (see MK thread).

Then she was at the front dancing madly for the Fall.

She had longish black hair and she seemed vaguely familiar...

Doesn't sound like Mark's sister to me, wrong colour hair and dancing at the front.

mark's sister (well the one that comes to gigs) has shortish, rather 'sculpted' dyed blonde hair. i am certain she wouldn't be at the front. she looks very fearsome!

i could post a pic of her and mark's mum taken at a gig last year - but i think she might come & get me! so i won't!!!

I thinking of puttingthat on, but decided it is a bit dark.

That's it Athlete, you're dead

As I understand it, the only person in the world MES is frightened of is his little sister.

Who logged in as me and posted that ?

Can I have your Fall collection Athlete as you wont be needing it now!!

Soulman

That has to be some sort of record.

Check the records, check the Fall's set records.

athlete - you are a brave and/or foolish man (delete as appropriate!)

oh bloody hell


now there's trouble.

thats a good picture that athlete. mind you its a bit dark. can it be doctored?

I remember the aforementioned little sister appearing in a pub before the 98 Christmas pantomime - I thought then that I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of her

Edit.... but then there are plenty of people I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of

Can I go on record as saying that all the Smith family are wonderful people? Thanks.

doctorin marks's sis is a capital offence y'know

It's been a pleasure reading your posts althete, we'll all miss you

Its been nice knowing you all

A few things about last night I have remembered Spencer wasn't wearing his glasses and Eleni was wearing a rather long green dress.

stop trying to change the subject!
