Greetings in the name of the new brand of street reggae,

this week saw us return from holland and head off to more gigs in redditch, maidstone and butlins (bognor regis)

well lets start with Holland, after finishing the gig last friday we all jumped (or strolled) into the van and set course for dover, most of us slept accept me andy and steve who were in the front singing along to some oldies on magic radio to keep our spirits up and eyes on the road, got to the ferry about 3 am and after harrassing the poor people in whsmiths got on the ferry. the drive up to Dockum  was long but some of us managed to pass the time enjoyably with continental beer and tiramisu! the rest just slept and were enteratained by skins new stand up act!

Dockum was freezing but as always we were made to feel very welcome, it was lovely to see all our freinds in holland and make some new ones so a big thanks from us all. of course no trip to holland would be the same without a stop over in amsterdam on the way back .. . . again large amounts of beer, football and local delights were had by all and some of us even had one of our 5 a day! lets say no more about bananas or crab paste!

well after a few days recovery we were back in the saddle playing at redditch and maidstone, both full and lively nights then we were off to bognor butlins . . .

supporting us again was keith harris, orvil and that monkey (i hate that f****** duck) he still dosnt think he can fly but he can! our show went down a storm as always then it was time for us to have our fun and party all night!

Andy decided in the pub was a great time for his first public singing performance since his role as the back end of a pantomime horse, his chosen song was jailhouse rock but unfortunatly he suffered from an extreme bout of amnesia and only remembered one line "les ross" . . . . . "les ross" we can only imagine that was supposed to be the lets rock bit! there is a video but i think he has locked it away never to be seen again hehehe. . . .  or has he . . .

later in the night after a ridiculous amount of alcohol wayne decided to leave his bed and take a stroll on the beach (i think he thought he was doin a promo for the Holiday tv program) unfortunately he forgot to get fully dressed so was rescued by security and a 5 foot hairy dog with a barrel of whiskey round its neck.

then morning and breakfast came, and the sight i will always remember, Andy was slouched in a chair holding a cup of coffee trying to speak but just blowing air, reminded me of gareth gates on bo selecta.

well home now and lookin forward to the coming weekend and more xova antics, will report back next week,

this was stuart, over and out.
