Just gotta say - Benn, you hero.

Post by Bog »

When Mark's cable or whatever fell out during the live SID80s set, Benn had about a second and a quarter lag before realising that The Mad Fiddler had just Gone Away before he had his flute to the mic and was filling in for all he was worth.

It was amazing, and really showed how the artists at these events pull together. Awesome. Just awesome.

*raises pint-glass of distilled water (it's after the gig, you know)

Benn. You fucking rock, dude. You *all* rock, but to see how you watched Madfiddler's back then was just awe-inspiring. Sorry the best tribute I could do was drunken, incoherent lurching :)

Hehe, I was talking with Ben last night about that, and HE was impressed that when it happened he turned round and Jeremy was playing the same thing on his bass for all he was worth: impressed Ben no end :)

I love the little moments like that. Watching the rehearsal earlier in the day when SID80s were doing Spellbound and it suddenly morphed into Tubular Bells. Classic.

Hurry up and release the rehearsal footage on a DVD! I'd love to see/hear that :)
