Blog: Beyond My WILDEST DREAMS!

As i may have mentioned lightly and in passing, we're off to Cornwall in August to record the next album. This is all VERY EXCITING obviously, tho there is one small blot on the ROCK landscape: it means that, for the first time in 17 years, i will NOT be at the Peterborough Beer Festival at any point this year. This news saddens me - I believe David Bowie was saddened by the realisation of the same fact when he went off to Berlin, although to be fair the Beer Festi as a very tiny affair those days, not the BEER MEGATHON it is today. Thus my pain is greater than Bowie's, QED.

Anyway, in discussion of this FACT my good friend Mr Paul Myland suggested that he and our co-founder of The Masters Of Nothing , Mr Robin Hare, travel down to London for the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia. I thought "That's a GRATE idea!" for LO! It is. The Plumping Of My Pillow and I went a couple of years ago to see John Otway play and it was FANTASTIC, so I thought I'd just check and see who'd be playing this time...

OH MY WORD! It's CHAS & DAVE!!

I can't believe it - could there ever BE a better band to play at a Beer Festival? A few years ago in Peterborough we saw The Not Bootleg But Other Tribute To The Beatles play, and it was ACE. We sang along to everything, called out for them to do "Revolution //9", and CRIED during "Hey Jude", and i thought THAT was as good as a Beer Festival band could GET.

I think i may have been wrong, except MEMO TO SELF: do not get too overexcited! The last time Mr Myland and I got this excited about a gig it was when we went to see David Essex, and MY LORD but that was a terrible disappointment. Surely Chas & Dave won't let us down like that though, will they?

See you down the front!
