[kj] OT CULT

[Brian Whitehead]

Yes, the criticism of the crowd was becoming a bit of a bore especially when
Duffy got in the act with "Did you know Manchester is the only place that we
haven't done an encore in all the gigs we've done". Then they delayed coming
back on for 10 min and even had the house lights put on to try and fool us.

The band should be getting the crowd going, it shouldn't be up to the crowd
to get the band going.

You are right about the length of set also. I didn't realise until after the
gig until Louise told me, it was an hour with an encore of two songs.

Jane, I did see you as I nearly drove over you trying to cross the road
outside. See you at Stoke... if I can find it.

Brian.
