Spirit of Play

we salute you, obviously. Thanks to everyone who came along to the gig at Bar Rumba on Friday - you wuz a terrific audience, and we wuz right grateful for all your clapping, roaring of approval (of the beer?) and general hip/unhip attitude to life. Why do we do it? So you don't have to. See above.

Despite some bizarre backline issues (ie, that there wasn't one until about half 6), the SOP set actually happened, and included three new songs: "Hannah of Troy" (Helen had a sister, didn't you know?), "Dictaphone Don" (inspired by a cover line from a certain literary journal, apparently) and "Beach cafe" (not entirely recent in composition, but only recently recorded and never before played in publicke, m'lud). With any luck, they will be played again soon. If you're not on the mailing list and you want to be, let us know: spiritofplay1@googlemail.com
