hiya madsters,
sorry for the delay with my review but i've tried
sending it twice & it hasn't appeared yet so i'm going to try doing it
in installments (it's a wee bit long but i'm burstin' with stuff to say
!)
First I'd like to say a big "cheers" to all who
attended the madmeet, it was a top day spent in top company to see a top band -
"magic" ! (Lisa B & Geordie Al "our leaders" did us proud). To echo the
great Mr Smash's words "it was emotional".
Having driven down from Fife, Colin & I checked
into our hotel in Gateshead at about 1.30pm, flung our bags in the rooms, out
the door & taxi to O'Neills bar if you please. I think we were first there,
but soon every one started to arrive (Chris, Al, Lisa, Mark Carlo&friend,
Stoo, Craig, Mr G, Iain M, Mike, Ian, Peter, Dave, Adele, Emma, Jenny &
Cathy - sorry if i've missed anyone i'm afraid drink takes its toll on the old
memory banks). It was great to finally put faces to the names. After the
introductions/hello agains it was down to some serious drinking & talk of
all things MAD, although Wee Stoo was already well oiled (ye lasted well wee
man). I was impressed with the way the barmaid finished off pouring guiness with
the shape of a shamrock on the head & Stoo was impressed with her for
different reasons..."aye she'd get it.." he quoted, Get what Stoo, a tin of irn
bru ? (not !).
I knew this was going to be day to remember &
for me it was brilliant to be in the company of people who feel the same way
about Madness as me.
end of sesh 1, sesh 2 to follow......why aye man
! Bob W
