Just wanted to say Well Done! once again boys, you were fantastic...I am sure they will be calling you back for more down in Crewe. Great to meet you all...Mike, Davy and Tommy finally nice to meet you, felt like I already knew you because of DT of course....Paul, Ari, Grant and Isabel, I am so glad we got to experience the night together, I really enjoyed getting to know you all. Isabel hope the mark on your chin really wasnt caused by "THE ITEM"  If it was, I dont think we need the intimate details

Another good turn out by the boys - a slight problem with the sound was the only distraction to an otherwise great set. Midgevox & Dadge, sorry I missed you. Ari, Sassy, Isabel & Grant - what a great couple of days, thank you all for coming along. I have a few obsevations from the night. Tommy - where does he get the energy? Drums his heart out for an hour and half, doesn't break sweat. 60 Mins later fast asleep in the bar. Totally rock and roll. Don - I don't think I've ever laughed quite so much at repititions of the same joke as I did on Thurs. Two words for you - Uuuultravox! and Boiiinngg! Mike & Davy - Great to see you both again - get some more gigs lined up for July / August and I'll be back again. Ari - hope you had a great day in London and got back in time for a few MayDay beers - see you soon my friend. Paul.

We went to the one place that we'd seen cheap flights to London before and the prices went up. So we're still shopping around for good rates. I'll be making some enquiries this weekend. If we were living in, like, Toronto or Vancouver, we'd be fine!!
Mrs. X[/b]I hope you get the flights booked Mrs. X, the next one wont be the same without you. Paul.

Oh wow... I got home about 1 hour ago and would like to just say THANK YOU and WELL DONE to everyone, especially PAUL - who made it all as easy and uncomplicated as I love things to be. Have a safe flight back tomorrow! SASSY - it was good you came. So happy to have met you! Sorry about the 30 quid. And sorry to have kept you "waiting"... MRS. X - you were there with us all the time! We swear! You will have to come and see them. I'll do my best to join in (it will depend on whether I by then have a contracted job and how available I am). DADGE and MIDGEVOX - sorry I didn't see you. Apart from that, I had a great day in central London yesterday. Met a friend I hadn't seen in 13 years, went with him to British Museum, and also got my PG bags and scones and ginger jam. What more do I need? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> My chin is intact again. But I'll have to have my nail repaired tomorrow. I hope I can reply to my e-mails soon (?) Love Isabel

Lava- So glad you are home safe and sound. Do rest up and get that leg back in order girl. I so enjoyed our girlie chats it was lovely getting to know you and I look forward to you coming over again soon...maybe DT and I could even make a trip over your way...who can tell. Working on some gigs for the monument boys in London either around the 9th or 30th of July so will keep you posted. It will of course be posted here as soon as I have the contracts signed. Right I am off for a rest, hurting and have definately overdone it over the past few days, not to mention being very bad in Crewe...far too many cigs and JD&Coke's... thank God my specialist doesnt know Will look for your email tomorrow, rest well

I will be there somewhere between mid-late June to late July. We just need to check on flights. Hopefully we'll know something very soon! Watch this space!  I really hope you'll be able to make it, Isabel. I'd love to meet you as well as everyone!!!!! Mrs. X

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come & see us in Crewe. It's a shame i cant play the violin / viola. I'm thinking of investing some dosh in one of those STRAP ON remote keyboards so i can bounce about the stage a bit like Tigger...... BOIINNGG!!! We have been offered some dates later in the year & we're hoping for July so keep yer diaries free ok,will keep you posted. Regards... UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTRAVOX

Grant LOL...careful Grant may need to reword that...saying cheap compulation and little or no difference in that quality may not say much for our Monument boys...we wouldnt want people thinking that now would we  Cheer up mate...all is well and I am happy we got to meet...dont take things to heart so much...I am sure I can speak for everyone when I say, we all had a great time.

There are a fair few folks from this neck of the woods, so I'm sure a decent and appreciative mob could be assembled to lay our wreaths at the Monument. Plus it's convenient for all those flying in for the gig from far-flung places like Germany, Spain, Finland, Canada, Newcastle . . .
