Appreciate where you're coming from but in the last 12 months I've seen them
3 times and there's a new album round the corner, so I'm happy with that at
least.........

Surely this is more Colemanballs! I don't think Cooking Vinyl would think it
viable to release that many versions of the album, but watch this space as
I'm forced to eat my own toupée!

Jaz has been known to talk bollocks before. Wish I could make it to the
video shoot (assuming THAT happens). It's part of the new touchy feely Joke
experience.

Still looking forward to the Cheltenham gig and feast/lecture, plus two
years and counting...
