literally brought the clouds down, yet despite the worst downpour
in years with flash floods drowning half a county and being
in the company of only mainline and Indie original
bands on the bill, 5000 enthusiastic and happy fans braved
a thorough drenching to see their set. It was a wet
T-shirt contest that should have made the Guinness book of
records quipped Mick.
August saw the band as the closing attraction
for this years Camra Festival at Olympia. Thousands of fans
intoxicated, not only by festering concoctions of hops, yeast
and the odd drowned rat, but also by musical memories of a
fine vintage.
