For Leuven, I was right in front of Graham, while at 4AD, I was in front of Margaret. Someone, perhaps with the band, was in front of Colin for both gigs, so perhaps once they play San Francisco in October, I can get that vantage point. cheers! - -fernando ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 20:32:24 +0100 From: "John G" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] RE: Manchester And that's about it other than to say Graham wore a very nice woolly hat with a star on it! ; ) http://www.sendspace.com/file/ep9z09 Has anyone got the full setlist For Manchester?

Great to see fellow Copyists. Talk was interesting although John Robb was testing Graham's patience at a few points. Gig was great. Sound was a bit ropey to start but picked up. New songs sound real good, can't wait for the album. The 15th was sublime.
