No reggae or hip-hop unfortunately...

Highlights of the day - second episodes of "Extras" (on video) and "Still Game" ("live") - "Still Game" has to be the best thing on the box at present...

Lowlight of the day - our gig on 16 August appears to have been double booked with a reggae/hip-hop night - hey, which I could do but won't...

So all the posters I put up last night will need to be changed and all the flyers I printed and handed out are useless - although some people may well enjoy a reggae/hip-hop night rather than an evening of CBQ and James Jamieson, if they go along on the stength of this now inappropriate ad campaign...

And all the while Jamie's away on holiday and doesn't even know we've got a gig...

Great!

Tonight I run through the set anyway and record it, burning it to CD to provide Andy with the vocal cues...and it sounds rather good - although there is a distinct lack of either reggae or hip-hop....

29th July 1981 - we got our first video recorder for that day....

PS Finally managed to get the three Creek tracks from 6 June on to a CD and have pronounced them to Craig, Stu and Alan as being "very good"...if Al can manage some overdubs, we have a wee EP on our hands...

Charles and Diana got married on 29/7/81 - everyone got a video recorder for that didn't they? Of course we (that is my ma and pa) got a Betamax...

Think they are more the Vienetta type.
