I've just realised that the photo that looked like a bunch of fat removal men coming out of the bogs behind the Hylton Castle Club is actually the band!

Suits would be nice; gold lurex with wide brocade lapels. Capes, perhaps.

I'm still not sure if the slow loading is the website or my windows 98 computer but it's actually quicker to click off the site and then go back through the address to the front page than it is to go back a page from wherever I am on the site. It's good to have the site though, and the colour scheme is better on the second one. More Rock n Roll.

The profiles are good, revealing, funny and very interesting (Derek and the Dominoes? It's all beginning to make sense...) but I'd be happy to rewrite them for you and make them better.

Overall, it's getting better. You should start selling products on the site, Commandment t-shirts, mugs with the full 11 commandments, like 'Thou shalt not play in the key of F', cd's of specific gigs and so on.

Even though you're playing private parties, list them so that people know how much you are in demand. Have a month by month gig listing.

I've got a friend whose Ska band have a website, it's been going for about 3 years  www.thegangsters.co.uk I don't think it's really a better site but it's packed full of info.

A bit of news; I've begun playing bass in a band! I'm never going to be in Frank's league, but then I've still got a pulse; when we start gigging in a couple of months I'll give you a buzz.

Apart from practising on bass I'm also practising how not to attempt to score with women when I'm out gigging. I'm using visualisation techniques and a secret mantra. I reckon the grey hair, absence of youthful good looks and the extra thirty pounds of body fat will also help me achieve this goal. I won't get off with anyone anyway but this way, using my secret mantra and an aikido breathing system, I'll not make a fool of myself either.

Looks awesome! Would love to book you guys for our next company bash! Cheers, Tony Harvey New Zealand.

Just looked at your web site-very impressive. Perhaps we could give up work and be rock stars, well you could I'd have to be the groupie Pam Durham

Thanks a lot, Rick. Great night - thank everyone at your end for us.

I enjoyed the musical interlude.

Your website looks great - the band looks very impressive! - but for some
reason I can't open the video ... I'll keep trying. Regards Alan

(Loved the mini harp, video should be alright but it is fairly big)

Enjoyed the profiles on the website and I liked the music that goes with each one. Where can I get a copy of the film you mentioned you played in? And a copy of your cd (if you have one). DaveyW
(Neither film or CD released yet)

The video doesn’t seem to be working on your cool website… . Chris Murtagh

(I haven't sussed out how to get it to play on all browsers/systems... Still working on it!)

(Really impressed with the writing and rantings if I were American I'd vote for you!)

Brilliant as ever!!!. P****d bloke in the loo

(Didn't seem like an appropriate time for shaking hands and introductions!)

We have just got back from a road trip along Route 61
