Must be funny in a rich mans world.............


Last Friday was weird. The rain was heavy and the skies dark all day. It didn't look good for my first gig in Urmston for some ten years or so. I wouldn't be out tonight if I didn't have to be, I said to myself in a kind of Transylvanian village way.

It's been tough preparing for this gig, due to the birth of Alfie. We are all pleasantly shattered. I had £50 worth of ticket money in an envelope on the table at home, which soon became swamped with cards from well wishers. When we decided to try and make some sense of where we lived, and resolved to tidy away the mountain of paper envelopes, the money envelope ended up in the bin along with every thing else.

I had two options at this point, pull out of the gig and thus let not only the people who'd bought tickets down, but also Moore Marriott. Basically, I decided that I would have to do the gig, which in turn, meant it cost me £50 to play!!

The gig itself was great. It was nice to see some old faces and I always love going home. Enjoyed the MM set and the opener from the Wheels. Still I've never agreed with pay to play gigs and £50 does seem a little excessive..........
