Well... I've had a sort of beard for a few years now, well, a goatee anyway,
and I'd afraid age has caught up with me too already and am relying more and
more on my glasses, so..its 8-)# nowadays...

So, when is a good time for a Show?  Mid-Summer? Or do we leave it until
Sept/Oct?
Mid summer - August - suits me.

And me Anyone else? The weather will be good too.

BTW Darren I have just come back from an evening with Steve Bensusan 
(you  others will not know him)  and he is onboard for the new band.

Brilliant news!! (Steve is a gifted Guitarist. I have Roy's Album with Last
Post and he is amazing on it - unbelievable solos.) I had thought you'd lost
touch with himI was just listening to him in the car last night on my
way home from work (that album occupies slot 4 on my CD Multi-changer!!)

Has Roy's band done any songs about the Sinlair QL or SMSQ/E, there back
on topic. If he has I would buy a copy.

Anytime except Autumn because of the existing shows at that time, e.g. Byfleet, 
QL Is 21...

The recent(?) profile of Linus Torvalds in _Wired_ claimed that Linus' first 
love was not a woman but a Sinclair QL. So there you are, material for a love 
song.

No customers ever come so probably best to do it when it suits us! 8-)#

You can fly into Galway airport quite cheaply from Luton on occasion...
Via Aer Arann.


Any ideas fellas?  (and it would be nice to see Jochen come over this
time)

Such a varied bunch - I always use the example where Myself, Roy, Tony, and
Jim Hunkins walked (unknowingly at the time) into a gay bar in Montreal at
the QL show there a few years ago. You had an age gap spanning 20+ years,
Roy with his long rock star hair and flowery shirt, Tony in shorts and
beard, Jim was tanned and in jeans - the poor barman was working overtime
trying to figure out who the couples were! I also tried to teach the barman
how to pull Guinness properly... but that's another story.
I remember it well.  This was the -second- gay bar we stumbled into. The
first was obvious - there were men dancing!

The look on the very gay barman's face when Darren showed how to slowly
pour a Guinness was priceless.

Reminds me, I really must organise another Irish Show, maybe in Galway for
a
change.
Hear hear.

Not September or October ... we ( Surrey and London Groups ) are holding 
a joint Show at Byfleet in September ... to which you are coming are 
aren't you ?

... And October is QL2005.
So I guess that you are already booked over here ... :-)
