The Gypsy has just told me that, during heavy winds yesterday, a tree has fallen onto the pub where our band is based. See here.

Looking at the photo that window is in the main concert room, next to the stage and on my side too! Thank goodness it was in the morning and not when there was a 'do' going on. No one was hurt but it makes you think. We used to rehearse in that room and leave the gear set up unless there was another function coming up. Recently the owners have let use use a back room, which is much more cozy for practice than an empty hall, and all our gear was in there. I guess I'll see the damage when I go down tomorrow afternoon.
Note: The band's website is taking shape (thanks 'Techno'), just waiting for a bunch of new photos (thanks Neil) and hopefully a couple of tracks for download. Soon...

The show must go on!
A large coin just dropped, how far is that from Whitcliffe Road? I used to have regular contact and visits to some shrinks based there.
Just a few hundred yards Dave, on the other side of Tesco's. The George is in the middle of town above the park, it's the jumble of buildings in the centre of this map. You can see all the trees in the beer garden to the West. If you zoom out three steps, Whitcliffe Road is at the top left.
I live a couple of miles to the South, as the crow flies across the fields.
Maybe it was music lovers trying to tell you something......
Les Dawson once claimed that he'd played piano in a pub on Yorkshire Street in Oldham, and they'd loved it so much that people outside were breaking the windows so they could hear him better.
Thanks Nobbly, but it must be said that Les Dawson was one of the greatest pianists of all time.
