The St Pauli thing is de rigeur these days amongst right on musos.

A House is Not a Home would bring a tear to a glass eye.

Was that at the band stand?

Aye min, at the band stand. Got Teenage Fanclub on Tuesday and then for some reason I agreed to go to see Hue and Cry with the wifie. :/

Week on Wednesday would be the 7th? Could do The Judges post.

Canna go to a gig these days without a muso being right on. Saw the Skids last Sunday, Jobson was wearing a St Pauli Gegen Rechts T-shirt. Don't see the problem. Good on him. I'm not going to change my beliefs or compromise my musical tastes just because they happen to be shared by a shell suit mink from the Green Brigade.

No doubt 70 years ago Mason would have been swerving the Woody Guthrie set to see Stereolab because he had a St Pauli sticker on his fascist killing machine. :)

Hoping it doesnae rain, kind of wishing I'd lashed out on both nights now but at north of £50 a ticket that might've been extravagant.

KrakowDon if you're looking in I'm available for West End beers post gig, I'll drop you a text closer to the time.

I've only been once when it rained and it wasn't too bad. Absolutely zero cover though. Fingers crossed for you.

Had dinner with Jobson in a curry house in King Street pre the recent Lemon Tree gig.

Nice guy, interesting company and, yes, is another St Pauli fan.
Lives in Berlin a chunk of the time so can justify supporting a German team.

Did you ask him if Mariella Frostrup is as dirty as she sounds?

No, surprisingly the topic never came up.

I drank most of his orange juice once after a gig at ruffles.
I would have hung around if I'd known that he was going to start dishing out curry.
