UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CASABLANCA BALL Casablanca Ball Homepage
I've now been confirmed to play this event on the Rick's Cafe Stage at 9:20pm. Headlining the ball are the excellent Ben and Jason! To go to Ben and Jason's Homepage click here. This looks set to be a fantastic event so I'm well looking forward to playing it. Additionally, I'll also be busking outside the ball at the start of the evening, entertaining the guests as they queue. So if that thought fills you with dread, turn up early. Or late.
WORCESTER BALL
I've also now been confirmed to play the Worcester Midsummer Ball Acoustic Lounge at 2am.

ACOUSTIC CONCERT SET LIST
Thursday's (16/5) Acoustic Concert was a resounding success! The concert was the fifth such event in college and the last one I'll play at as a current student. I played Don't Look Back in Anger, Summertime (from Mystery and Fire), Wild World, The Day We Caught the Train and Karma Police. Wild World was particularly satisfying as I played it at the second concert in November 1999 and messed it up entirely, so to have it go well felt good. All the other artists were fantasic, though in my opinion Andy Wynn and his merry merry band of minstrels and the Tom Hinton Collective deserve a special mention. A great gig - look forward to the next one. And we raised a load of money for charity.
MANY CONGRATULATIONS ALSO...
to Jai and Tanya, who are getting married in Canterbury on the 13th July. I know this because
they've booked me to play at their reception. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish them good
luck in their preparations for the big day!
1st February 2000 The band are doing their biggest gig yet! It's an epic acoustic concert in St John's College Chapel, Oxford.
