| 1 | A wondrous time was had by all on the German tour, in the company of Robbie McIntosh, Geraint Watkins and Paul Beavis. We did nine gigs in ten days, from Hamburg to Munich, Hannover to Berlin and various points between. |

We were treated to the usual German hospitality – great audiences, wonderful food, all the beer you could drink, great accommodation etc, all laid on via the fine folk at Sounds Promotion. |

The 100 limited edition CD's, named Funsbury Park (now the name of the band), specially recorded for the tour, were sold out with two gigs left to do. There are plans for more recordings soon. |

Three days after returning from the tour, the German connection was re-established by a session at Derek Nash's Clown's Pocket studio in Kent with Henning ‘Scooter' Otte, a German bluesman. Derek, Ben Waters and Ady Milward joined me on this session. |
