Toyah and Robert Fripp

 Queen's Hall 16th December with FM.

Great night, fun from beginning to end, except for "Heroes" which is a vastly overrated boring dirge. Highlights: Sharp Dressed Man and unexpectedly great Fashion.

Street Party

 

Gig 58

 

Home Bar, Edinburgh Wednesday 11th December 2024

Very successful gig at the Home Bar cf Gig 56. Excellent sound this time courtesy of Niamh #1 who gave us the good treatment in the first Home Bar gig. Everything crystal clear to us and the audience hooray! what a difference it makes. A couple of new songs had their first outing ( Hardly Rebel and The Hand) and they seem likely to stay in the list for a while. 

Setlist:

A Physical Husband, I Need To Clean The Floor, Flowers, Polish Seamstress,, Take The Picture, Hardly Rebel, The Hand, Death Makes You Feel Like A  Man.

Break

Pictures Of Biggles, Standing In For Love, The g Factor, Red Star, Christmouse, It's Abnormal, Mouse In Love.

Christmas Quiz not as easy as we thought, based on "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" top score 8/12, KG won the tie-breaker to cries of "Fix".

Christmouse had its annual outing, best ever version in fact.

Well received by audience, comments included "so slick the songs seemed shorter than usual"

Diagonally

 Met Ronan for lunch on a crisp day. Discussed going to India. Food for thought.

Hallowe'en Cactus

Benefitted from re-potting in the spring

65

 So far so ... Goodish all things considered. Nice lunch with M and J at La Garrigue, but £35 for a bottle of Picpoul??.

Memory Lane

Went to Bruntsfield Links with FM who was down for Mike Oldfield. A lifetime ago we played lots of pitch and putt.
