Well i just got back from the gig (probably the first as i live just round the corner) and it was great!!!
Really cool to meet Andre & Chris & Trev (again) & Steve and great to see Rob & Dawn. A good giggle was had by all!
Oh, and the band were pretty damn hot too!!!
Rob signed the back of Mrs. moo 2
Now before you all go rushing to get him to sign your basses, this wasn't cheap. This cost me the majority of my dignity!!
He's also getting the backplate of Mrs. moo 1 signed by Mark... yay
Great fun
A very big thank you to Andre for organising the tickets and refusing to take any money for them... Thank you buddy.
I think there should be some more photos from people soon

It was indeed a very good evening. Rob and Dawn were really friendly and spent loads of time chatting to us.
Was great to meet TheMoo and Steve and to see Andre and Trev again.
Trust me Mrs Moo 2 looks even better in the flesh (wood) than in any of the photos on here. Simply stunning and the depth of the finish is incredible. Can't wait to see Steve's Series 2 when it is finished. Hopefully we may see some in progress shots as well. HINT HINT.
Mark King's bass playing was again a masterclass in how to play incredibly fast and accurate slap and fingerstyle bass. How he can pay 16th notes for a whole song while zooming up and down the neck with his left hand and singing is beyond me!
Hope everyone got home safely and thanks again to Andre for organising the evening and for his generosity. What a top bloke!

What can I say! Sorry if my furry hat got in the way.
Anyway - Great gig and it was nice to meet you all, and Rob & Dawn... Nice to see the woman I've terrorised with phonecalls and stupid emails.
Hopefully there will be another meeting at some stage. And Trev, that photo of Moo and me is terrible!

:O That last picture with Andre and Mrs Moo II looks like she's fretless! Even more gorgeous, naturally.

In the flickr photo number 57 MK looks like he needs a gallon of Red Bull to wake him up!
Some good shots of the gig though. I noticed there were no video cameras about so I assume there will be no DVD. Shame that as it is a great venue and the light show was pretty good as well. None of the sound issues from the CD either.

Ah ha! And now for some more detailed information:
There are four national languages in Switzerland: German, French, Italian and Romansh. In principle, all four languages have equal rights. In practice, however, things sometimes are different since the smaller groups, although geographically fairly homogeneous, more often than not have to assert their political and economic influence.
Care to rephrase :-)
