Apologies for the poor quality, I can't understand why my new phone (3.2 megapixel camera) takes piss poor quality videos compared to my old phone (2 megapixel camera).

I've only just uploaded these so you may have to wait a while before they become available.

Toscs. I recently got a nokia phone. The default video setting is medium quality to save space on the memory. You should be able to set it on high if you go into settings vhen the vid cam is on but it burns the arse out of the memory

Dunno 'bout the date yet since they haven't split the SPL yet. Sometime in May I guess.

Yeah I'm a member of the CSC but it's £2 if you're not, and it goes to charity

I don't know about the BSC gig; the Shebeen one is nowt to do with the CSC so you have to pay the pub's ticket price whether you're a member or not, but it think BCS are gonna be just a regular match-day band. I'll let you know nearer the time.

Yeah I've already set it to High Quality, rather than MMS quality. It seems this phone (Sony Ericsson K800i is more geared for photos than vids).

The line up for Dingle spike's 'Far From Home' LP is Jack McCarthy, Timmy o'Brien, Tommy Macmanamon and James McNally. It includes the Bold Fenian Men track.

Tommy and James then went on to Markxman and Storm.

Did Danny turn up? I doubt it. There's a man who professed to not injuring his baby son when he did, from what I heard from the Popes at the time. The man is full of shit, and is intent on trading on past times. He's happy to drag private matters re Shane into public, but can't handle it when his extremely dirty linen is aired.

Blown out by his vocals on Woman got me drinking.
