I was there in row F chaps - and on the end having a bit of a boogie occasionally with myself!

Highlights for me were being completely shocked when, we were outside on the balcony getting some air (it was SO warm inside) before the show, and who should come out?. Mike himself!. He stayed and chatted with a few blokes - I just looked on in awe. Couldn't bring myself to go over and talk to the bloke. Seemed like a nice chap though from what i could eavesdrop on!

The other amusing moment was when Mark came on at the encore, took his bass off its stand and tried to throw the stand away - he ended up very nearly throwing the bass with it and himself!. He then gave one of those cheesy grins to audience and went into the fantastic bass solo...Which, I have to say, I possibly one of the best (and longest) I have ever had the pleasure to witness.

What a great night!

As in Tie A Yellow Ribbon in Fait Accompli? I'd love to have seen that!

[lakeybloke]

Yeah - that very same cheesey grin! - It was very funny...in the words of MK himself - you had to be there, folks - you really did.....

BTW - for those guys and girls who stayed in the bar whilst Kenny Thomas was on stage, you missed a REAL treat. The boy did good!.

Awesome night !!

Mike had some problems with the Prophet towards the end of the set - he tried switching it on and off a couple of times but it failed. We met him after the gig and he said it was a weird thing the keyboard did - the sound was distorted and he's never seen it before and couldn't work out what caused it to behave so strangely .... he then said it was something he would have to sort out today as there's a lot more gigs to go!

Mark and the bass stand at the encore ... I saw it very well - the guitar tech had somehow managed to loop the lead a few times over one foot of the stand instead of on the floor so when Mark picked up the bass, the stand came with it! He shook the cable until the stand got lose then threw it back. I'm sure Mark was fuming under all the smiles.

Brilliant solos from all the band and an excellent atmosphere where we were up the front by Shaun and Nathan. I'll put it in my top 5 gigs of all time, and theres a few to chose from!!

And the quote of the night - from one of yer real Essex girls in full voice as she left the toilets ...... "yeh anna wazzed on me hand, stinks o' wazz now .... "
