For me, the big one is Steve Winwood on Thursday - Hammond frenzy

Also, I can't wait to see what the folkies make of Dreadzone on Saturday

Partially, you did Rach - but reading the synopsis & reviews, seemed like a fun read (especially after the historical novels's I've been reading lately) & anything to do with narrow boats can't be all bad.



You can still buy me a beer though

Does that make Neil our nervous hyperventilating dog, then?
