Well what an eventfull weekend that was, made my way up to brighton with neil carr, glyn brown, mr gillgrass (hope i spelt that right) and larsec which was cool.
got into our hotel (lovely place) and sorted ourselves out went off down the road to look about ended up in a lil side pub thing and had a few pints and loosened up nicely with my new found buddies lol.
Then off to rehersals (nearly an hour late mind)...which was really excellent, was my 1st ever life view of daglish and i got to meet some of the nicest people around, including jan and skitz, makke, o2 and so forth, was a real experience for me.
Listening to these other people's music and finally getting to stick a face to em (And hair in makke's case lol).
anyway....... night ends nicely in the designated pub "the prodigicicicicicical (i was drunk.....)) where i met a few others including tomsk who is a lovely guy like...... lolol.
back to hotel.....lars snores....keeps me awake!
get up in the morning and have brekky with all the lads and then off down to the brighton centre.
Now i aint going to cast any aspersions to chris abbotts work, he does a magnificent job of what he does, he does it well and precisely, gets his job done BUT.....
and there is always a but aint there, i thought the show was a little sparse to justify its 7hr tag.... but from what i hear it had a damn good turn out and alot of fun was had by all, and i finally got marcels cd! wooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! and its bloody exellent too so the next person to say its not is gonna get a kick right in the <Censored> the <censored> <VERY censored> people.....
OH! and marcel is a really nice guy too but i expected that......any man that lives off beer curry and cigarettes is a nice man to me hahaha
The highlight of the evening for me was rob hubbard playing live on his keyboard, that was really something special, unfortunatly i didnt feel too good and i missed part of it and the whole PPOT thing which i am annoyed at but im sure the DVD (shameless plug alert!!!!!!!) will have all the best bits i missed right there.
I gotta give a mention to the pub we all sat in "walkabout" that was the so great sitting right there next to makke, glyn opposite me, lars in a recliner to the side, neil sitting the other side of makke....dan and jan (ooo! poet and i didnt know it) there aswell and all of us just deep in conversation, so excellent such a great atmosphere and i really hope that even if there isnt another bit live we can just goto brighton or somewere just for the fun of it and just all meet up.
Id love to see all you guys again, especially makke's hair............
Likely to be an influx of photo's up on sites pretty soon, and i really am looking forward to seeing these.
......yes! OOOPS
the concert.!
madfiddler! cool!
ben daglish in funky green trousers playing guitar like a rockstar! COOL!
reyn and marcel doing their key thang...and particular reyn giving his all on a superb lil solo effort COOL!
ROB HUBBARD......SAY NO MORE .
as i said i missed the rest so i hope someone can enlighten me sometime soon....maybe in vhs format or dvd with added special features.... am i plugging that enough chris? lol.
All in all, my 1st back in time event and i did get to meet alot of people who i shall list down below in order of how i remember you and if i dont im sorry but i was VERY VERY DRUNK. and it was one of the best experiences of my life and i cannot wait and i cannot stress to mr abbott how i would LOVE to see another bit...... i will be there without a doubt.
