This isn't one of their greatest tracks but it's good enough to be going on with.<BR/><BR/>@ fp - glad you liked The High Llamas - I would recommend their album 'Hawaii' if you can get your hands on it.<BR/><BR/>No piccies of the Summer Fair I'm afraid - I was far too busy entertaining the masses and making important announcements like 'all cakes now 2 for 50p', 'the dance group will be performing in 15 minutes in the main arena' and 'the pick a duck stall is now closed for reasons beyond our control' (actually, I made the last one up).<BR/><BR/>I set up all the equipment in a (fairly substantial) play house which is normally used by the Reception classes - it was the best venue I've ever performed in! I nicknamed it 'The Shack' and we had a sort of '60s love and peace thing going on. Brilliant day - can't wait until next year!ToffeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610938852113922395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-87358565554752145082008-07-13T10:49:00.000+01:002008-07-13T10:49:00.000+01:00That went down a treat with the Sunday morning adm...That went down a treat with the Sunday morning admin.
