The Mostlies Spring Tour
I'm wondering whether I can make any dates on the Mostly Autumn Spring tour. I'm not quite like Scott, who follows his favourite band all round the country, but I'd like to make at least one show.
Unlike previous tours, where they've returned again and again to the same venues like the Limelight Club in Crewe, (where I've seen them twice), this tour sees them play far and wide. Some of the venues seem odd choices, far off the beaten track. Workington, Great Torrington, and Builth Wells are an awfully long way from any major centres of population. I wonder what sort of audience such shows will attract?
Unfortunately, most of the shows reasonably close to, such as Runcorn or Preston are midweek, making them awkward to get back from and get to work the next day. The same applies to those further afield where I have relatives or friends living in the area, such as Aberdare or Exeter, making them impractical without taking two days off work Just about the most accessible is looking like Rhyl, of all places. It's on a Friday, and I could conceivably make a weekend of it; a chance to sample the Beyer-Garratts on the Welsh Highland Railway, which should be running by May.
HippyDave is getting cold feet about the band, has decided to give this tour a miss. I'm not sure I completely share his opinions of the band.

Is the name of the band "Mostly Autumn?" Oh wait - handy link. ... Why yes, indeed it is.
Ever heard of Roger Ramjet? If you have any great memories can you go to my site because I'm drawing a blank. Look for the "Connections..." post.

I'm afraid Roger Ramjet means nothing to me; don't think the show was ever screened in Britain
