No can't make it, stupidly i'm doing a 26 mile walk across the island .

It'd only be stupid walking 26 miles if it's not for charity.

I shall definitely be there (Trowbridge is about six minutes away on the train).

What the feck is it with old heavies & the West Country lately? Tony Tucker was down at Bath Pavilion back the other day, now Larry is going to grace the backwards baseball cap & Matalan hoodie capital of Wiltshire.

What's next, I wonder? Kenny Norton to drop by the Westway Cinema, Frome? Tyrell Biggs guest MC-ing at Thekla, down Bristol's East Dock? Pinklon Thomas to visit Marston Bigot?

Trowbridge is the Vegas of the West Country apparently.

the thekla is a great boat
