Riverside, Bradford-On-Avon |
Maybe it was my fault for not putting it on here.
I know its an effort to scroll down to the gigs at

The Hobbits, Weston-Super-Mare |
The last time we played The Hobbits in Weston was with a tight sphincter, as we were supporting The Meteors.
An un-enviable task at the best of times.
This time was equally nerve-racking, as

The Watersports Centre, Falmouth |
Falmouth and Newquay was exactly the kind of ride we expected.
And then some.

Reckless Engineer, Bristol |
A few hours down time and we were back on the road to Bristol.
Convinced the idea of playing again was COMPLETE insanity.
We drove past the Reckless and saw it was pretty thin on the ground

The Granary, Frome |
The last time Far-Cue played a gig in Frome, it was a disaster.

The return to the Stones was weird.

The Barracuda Bars, Newquay |
Newquay wasn’t so much a gig as an endurance test.

Firstly, The George at Poole.
The staff and landlord at the George are all about as cheery as a funeral march. I don’t think they could give a rat’s rear if you were there or not.

It’s hard to grasp the concept of ’ the last time ’ until a few days after the event in my opinion.
