Wow, what a tour. By all accounts on these boards (and any idependent reviews i've seen) the best of the reunions.
Getting to London on Saturday was stressful to say the least but get there i did. I was gutted then to hear that so many other fans were stranded, unable to get to the gig. Firehazard and Eckard, you'll get there next time.
I was late getting to The Cantabury, so missed Heather (AGAIN) but had a pint with Rum, Sodomy & the Lash (but for the life of me can't remember the name of the fourth person down from from Brum)

Fionn MaCool, the piss artist formally known as TOSCS (his words, not mine). And some young wan and her Oul Fella from Stockwell.
I'd forgotten how big the Acadamy is, but can see why it wins awards for best live venue. No stupid wrist bands needed to get to the front and a boistrous but great humoured crowd. The Pogues were (again) on the top of thier game.
Funniest moment of the weekend was the way i found out Firehazard hadn't made it down. With the confidence and bravado that only drink gives you, i was on my way back from the bar and passed by the only guy in a wheelchair (he was
really singing along with passion and was what i presumed to be the about the right age). So i stopped,turned, raised my glass and shouted up to him.....
"HEY, FIREHAZARD!!!!!"
He looked too bemused to answer, but his partner seemed to be thinking they were definately in the right place and probably wouldn't impede my exit should an emergency situation arise.
What a great weekend. Thanks to Philip and the rest of the gang for another unfogettable night out.
