  1. congrats! looks like too much fun for an old codger tho.

    any MP3s of the sets for those who want to relive it or those stuck on the other side of the pond (like me)?

  2. Cardiff was your most enjoyable gig, really? It was intimate to say the least, not the best of venues and I must admit I've had ringing in the ears for weeks after thanks to that venue!
