By the way, I should start mentioning this: As I’ve got a Significant Birthday* coming up, I’ve reserved the small function room above the Albert Arms, 1 Gladstone Street, Southwark, London SE1 6EY on October 23rd and I’ll be doing a substantial gig there. There will also be sets from Messrs Tom Poslett and Rob Thom. Not sure about the time, yet (among a lot of other details), but it won’t be earlier than 7:30 and rest assured entrance will be gratis. It’s my vanity, after all.

(Albert Arms have a website, but they’ve just changed management, and it’s yet to catch up.)

*Somewhat reticent to say which one. However, let’s just say my transport budget will hopefully be plummeting soon.
