This Week
This Week I'm going to Scotland to visit my McParents, McMum (female) and McDad (male) and may not have the opportunity to dress in my Blog-persona (bit like wearing drag). So here's my week-at-a-glance with Monday and Tuesday missing, because they are for recovering from the weekend, aren't they!
Wednesday: at the London College of Printing, Elephant and Castle, 'Handing Down the Memory Cloth', an activity day, based on fanzines. I have contributed a page to this project, which is about handing down knowledge about crafts.
Thursday: Offline, at Jamm. 'It Hugs Back'are playing. I haven't seen them yet, but it's my friend Matt Sims' band and he's a brilliant musician. Go and see- it's free!Details at urban75.com and click on Offline
Friday: pour out the Pimms and listen to Sideband, and Me!! on Scaledown, broadcast on Resonance, at 4.30. Streamed live on resonancefm.com or broadcast on 104.4 fm

Helen!
Thanks for coming down to Offline tonight, and apols for not chatting to you much - but you seemed engrossed in conversations elsewhere!
I loved the bands tonight, and Robert Newman was brilliant!
But now I'm more than a little tipsy, so bed beckons.
See you soon!

Wow, I don't know what to say. An acquaintance played "24 Hours" for me at a party once in 1982, and put it on a mix tape for my roommate, who was a total rock'n'roll collector nerd. He went on to fame having discovered Hootie and the Blowfish, which made him a millionaire. But I digress.
Anyway, I made a copy of the tape, and had it for years until I lost it. I never had the single and the song has remained lodged in my head lo these 25 years, give or take (I have kind of a photographic musical memory, speaking of nerds). I am thrilled to learn only now about the rerelease of your work on CD, and am aflutter with excitement to get a copy.
Best of luck to you and thanks for 25 years of inspiration from across the ocean.
