had a great time,took a couple more bookings for next year,had a few beers,a great chinese meal,saw my mother and sister.its been a while since we played so far from home,used to do it regularly with my last band,so next year,hopefully our new agent will get us more work in england and a few of the larger festivals as well.

p.s where you at FF ?

Country & Western at the Jarrow Labour Club -that I'd love to see!  :D
So the World tour of the North went well then Doc?

the REAL WORLD tour was an outstanding success mate,the fact that the band is a lot rockier than most country bands on the circuit was a bit of a matter for concern,but we needent have worried, ;D

Yo doc,we're close enough to Sacriston, we'll try our best to see ya Friday night mate.When you said the REAL WORLD I presume you meant "GOD'S COUNTRY" but then again we are biased

Exactly what i meant mate.

doc,do you know a guy called David Addams,he's a cousin of "the governor", and plays one of them slide guitars I think and is obviously from the Newcastle area which is why I asked

the name seems familiar,but i dont think that i know him,sorry,its been about 10 - 12 years since i was playing the blues circuit around newcastle,im presuming he plays blues if its slide guitar you mean,if its lap or pedal steel you mean,its more than likely country that he plays,the thing about gigging ,is,you dont get to see many other bands,unless you're on at a festival together.

Sorry doc, yes it is a steel pedal giutar,apparently he's played for some big names in country music and always likes to mention that he's played with Dolly Parton,ooer missus

Can't be god's country coz no one mentioned Devon
K

jealousy gets you nowhere  ;D ;D

im going for a lie down now  ;D

yeeeeehaaaarrr,im back,another great mini tour ended,met loads of good people,took 12 more bookings for the band and a spot at the great north country music festival (used to be at witton castle )didnt meet F.F though,but did meet his cousin,who,just happens to be forming a new country band with one of my ex-bandmates mickey,and a good friend of mine billy,small world eh ?

Sorry we couldn't make it Friday doc,my better half was really ill.

no probs,hope she,s ok now  :)

Welcome back Doc.
