The following morning we were up early. Me waiting to get back in the bathroom

Elaine only spent the morning with us as the band were meeting up for a sound check and the promoter was taking them for a meal etc. The only pic I took during the day was this huge wooden model boat in a bar not far from where the gig was

Then we went and collected our back stage passes and took to our seats. The band made sure we had a great seat. The gig was a sell out. 4000 there

I too feel that I was there with the four of you, Derek and, had circumstances been different, of course I would have been. So sorry I couldn't make it but your piccies have gone a long way to make up for that. Thanks so much.

Take care,
Ham.
