He's always better singing good material by other writers, the Squeeze song being an excellent example. He's from my hometown (Sheffield) and I went to college with his nephew. And quite frankly, the mere suggestion of Mike + The Mechanics and especially THAT song brings on a faint nauseous sensation followed by a general unease. YUCK!

There is a neat-looking Italian place about a nine-minute drive from the venue: http://www.roccospizzeria.com/ . It is not terribly fancy, but looks like a good place for the food and convenience. I've even considered inviting the band to join us. If there are enough of us, we could probably reserve a room. Any interest or opinions? You can e-mail me off-list if you like.

We have had a big influx of new subscr*bers recently. Avalon's population has now hit 450, an approximate 45% increase since Xmas. There are 282 on the regular list, 168 on the digest. Allowing for dead e-mail addresses and multiple subscriptions there are probably around 350-370 current members I've noticed some new names on the list, and some familiar ones returning. Welcome all, and especial greetings to recent recruits from Peru, Japan, Switzerland and New Zealand. Roxy's appeal is spread far and wide even if the tour venues aren't... With the Avalon video releases imminent, and the tour about to start these are exciting times in Avalonia. I'm looking forward to putting your concert reviews on the Avalon site, oh blimey, hang on, 20+ reviews per concert times 50 concerts that's......Oh God......
