Only got 'Pink Flag' from many, many moons ago.......

Almost tempted to see 'em at the Nottingham gig, midweek though which means it'll probably never happen.

Same here Jim. Why did they move it, lack of ticket sales?
Think I'll go for a stroll in the trees.

Hope you have a good time in Leeds. It's tomorrow innit? Wasn't so taken by the new LP Object 47 myself either - preferred the R&B stuff too. Quite like "One Of Us" but the rest hasn't grabbed me yet. Let us know how it is Jim...

Aye cheers - tomorrow it is. Mekon Headman (or whatever it's called) isn't bad but the rest of it is very mellow/polished IMO.
