The 100 Club gig was quite wonderful. Despite the explosions and bomb scares people showed up and the place was just short of completely sold out. I did the whole thing with electric guitars - Harmony Sillhouette, Gibson 330 and the famous big green Microfret plugged into my trusty old Selmer Tru-voice 50 watt amplifier. It made a change, normally I use a 15 watt Ampeg which has a pretty good sound though it isn't really loud enough on the stage. I dumped the acoustic guitar too - my acoustic playing is fairly violent at times and I get tired of breaking strings. This is all information for anoraks.
For the semi-anoraks the set went something like: Joe Meek, The Golden Hour Of Harry Secombe, Same, Continuity Girl, Swimming Against The Tide Of Reason, Walking On The Surface Of The Moon, Whole Wide World, Local, 33s & 45s.
For the slightly less than semi-anoraks: I wore a genuine 1970's brown velvet suit with a black t-shirt and a pair of green suede and felt shoes. I threw two guitar picks into the audience which slightly fucked-up the budget and made me feel a bit Chris Martin (silly cunt), but I got carried away by the moment.
I drank water all night.
Wilko, Norman and Monti were on top form and I got to see him again the next night at the hideous Norwich Arts Centre. I've written stuff about Wilko before and I can't quite think of anything to add to it at the moment. So for a short tribute to Wilko

Actually there isn't much about Wilko in those links but you get the idea. And it's quite good if someone reads a bit of the archive from time to time. It's just sitting there gathering virtual dust. Perhaps I should edit it and make it into a slim volume.
