I was not a massive fan, perhaps because there is not enough time to listen to everything that&#8217;s out there, so I may have missed out. On the plus side I had a really good gig with the Delta Ladies last night down in Dorking that was a very \u00a0pleasant surprise. Tomorrow night \u00a0I am playing at \u00a0the Mitre in Barnet which is a very good pub, \u00a0but sadly a long way from Battersea so I can&#8217;t drop in as often as I would like. \u00a0That should be fun. I wish the weather would get its act together though, as I could do with a bit of the warm stuff.
