St George's Day Celebrations, Birmingham, Saturday 23rd April, 2011.

1) Things are not starting well for Vicky. Bev Bevan is on stage with Jenny Wilkes and he's waxing lyrical about the days when he played in a band that toured with the Beatles. Worse than that - he was the drummer in The Electric Light Orchestra: and there's only one band Vicky hates more than ELO........................

2) .............................and here they are! The Fab Beatles. One of countless million Beatle-Tribute Bands knocking around the planet. Dave thinks they're alright (he would), although he was unaware of their little-known Territorial Army period before today. We're both agreed on one thing: they sound better the further you get away from the stage.


3) Howard and Dave have guided Vicky away from that 'appalling nasal cacophony' and she's found some quietude in a balmy corner. Dave looks as tho' he still needs more time to recover from being transported back to the heady daze of the '60's yet.
