Hi Phil,

Which is your local band? I guessed one from the North West but "Big"
Martin from Sovereign said that you used to be with Sovereign and so this
was the band you're referring to?

>>Tredegar were (unfortunately for everyone else) a clear league ahead 
of anyone else there.<<

Agreed.

>>Crewe Co-op played a very good band 
for 3rd.<<

Pity I didn't hear them :-( They seem to be doing well the last year?

>>Surprised at Woodfalls coming 5th - lots of terrible tuning 
and IMHO not very good at all.  Surprised at Sovereign coming 7th - 
totally different, rounder sound, a few individual blunders must have 
cost them more than poor tuning/ensemble did others.<<

My same thoughts - even though i was probably biased!<G>

poisoning I received at the weekend and am trying to defeat.<<

Well, they're the same as my list so we're probably right or suffering the
same alcoholic poisoining effects!<G>

It was our first trip to Pontin's and it was a good weekend (even took the
wife and kids who aren't avid band followers and they enjoyed it)
especially as we finished a reasonable 6th! :-)

Cheers
