Have a blast in London Town. See you in Dundalk and Stradbally (that sounds so strange… it is in the middle of nowhere)

Fantastic
I’ll be bringing Rick Senley (a music/rock photographer) along, but as you have been in email conversation with him, I’m sure he’ll be down to get in - if not, please add him as my plus one!

Could you add me to the paying list please? I did send an email, but it probably went AWOL. See you tomorrow.

Fantastic news! My sis is coming down from the wilds of Norfolk to join me for the gig and has her old Babble t-shirt at the ready (mine won’t fit any more).
Being a bit cheeky, I don’t suppose there are any more spares? Another true believer would like to join us if at all possible…

Yeah, mine’s going spare. I’m stuck in Paris and can’t make it. Gutted, but please go ahead and put the ticket to good use! Ticket will be on the door under name of Gareth Knight. If you’re going to Dundalk or the EP, you can track me down and buy me a large pint of Guinness! I’ll be the one in the Scumsurfin ‘90 shirt
