Hi Gents,
I can report that Malcolm's new contacts are up and running. I managed to grab a brief chat with him and Mr Willie Gamble after the Albert Lee gig.

What a great gig Billy, sorry I never met you. The lady on keyboards was a force of nature! And Albert was on amazing form. First time I saw him was with Head, Hands and Feet at a free concert in Hyde Park!

I had gone, primarily, to catch Gerry Hogan(now that I'm obsessed with all things steel) and was quite surprised at the amount of the Robert Randolph style, distortion lead that he used. Still fantastic to see a great player up close and personal.

Where there is a bag of Donuts you will find Malcolm but he never seems to get fat.

Ok you motley crew, have been off line for a few weeks because of those b*******at EE, when changing my broadband and phone line to Sky.Have sent out email and texts to those who might need new addresses, if I have missed anyone please pm me and I will get details to you, my mobile number remains same.
The Albert gig was great, as Danny said , was surprised at amount of distortion Gerry used, never heard him do that before, his playing was superb.Mr Bling, I was on guest list for show, so had plenty of cash to buy a round of drinks , a can of coke and three straws, that Gamble costs me a fortune in drink.
If I have missed anything important ( like Mr Bling opening the vault for yearly count of cash) my apologies, but as Arnie say's "I'm Back".

Danny, meant to add Zumbilly was the elderly bearded guy Gamble and I were talking to, easily recognised by large bulge in back pocket caused by very large wallet, you may have seen his Bentley parked outside.

The can was more than ample to share between Gamble his son Fraser and myself.

Also a great show at Kinross! A small venue and very tight sound between them, cracking bass man! and drummer! and of course apart from Albert being the guitar wizard he is ; Dona Oxford was a class act! Yes Gerry played a fair bit with extra drive on and also a sort of pedal-bro sound at one stage, the main reason for chipping in here is that I spoke to Gerry at length and he was well chuffed at the support from the Scottish Steel Fraternity so I thought I should convey it; our presence was much appreciated and of course well rewarded!

For those who don't know Dona Oxford.. this was one of her party pieces!!
