thanks to you and the band for coming to play!

Bloody good it was too! Well worth 3 hours from rural Oxfordshire. Great to hear the older songs of course but the revelation for me was songs from the last two albums; I liked them already but the mood/tone of Over Under, Night Sweats and The Idiot was new, deep, brooding - and vocally perfect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This picture's great, not least because I've had plenty of lovely meals from Local Friends over the years.

I did exactly that aged about 11, only with my knee. I wasn't ever any good at football but that miss particularly hurt, so it's good to see I'm not alone.
