Thanks for the nice words Martyn. I think you're right about Matt's bass playing,.. anyone would do well to emulate that skill. My guitar playing is "OK" but in the Our Dad line-up I do feel like the weakest link! When you see Bedford, tell him Weeksie says he plays too many notes ;-)
Both left-handed, both married to wife called "Jen" who (according to some post of yours on raising families from a while back) are far too fertile..... both took the same course as a remedy for this. I've been noticing far too many similarities between us :-)

Well hello! I am indeed. Very big fans of the Barkers, lovely people. Trust you are enjoying them! Dodgy move really, going south of the river, but they seem to have survived the experience!
Hi there Martyn,
I'm just contacting all my HMI friends in the South East to let them know I'm doing a gig (playing for Esther Alexander) at Cafe Nero in Kingston on Thursday night (19th).
I know it's a bit of a way from you but if you're free and interested, let me know and I'll get you some more details.
Cheers for now

WOW.,., well, actually, as it happens I was trying to get hold of them as we were gonna have a 19+ reunion.. - you don't happen to have a telephone number for them do you? - obvioulsy if you do, don't post it here, and ask for permission first .. after your hols is fine..
Martyn,
I just noticed that you joint the old and wrinkly group on 23rd. That was another birthday for me. I did think after setting up the group that it might seem a little condescending to tout for members especially as I noticed that one gentleman's profile was 70+.
On your profile I see you are Treasurer for Rochester, from that I assume that you are involved with the C of E, could you have a look at the Forum page for "All age service" and make a suggestion, as you must be familiar with our predicament and understand how difficult it is to introduce something new where folk like the familiar.
Thanks .... Paul
Hi Martyn,
If you go to my profile page there's a music player in the left hand column just below my lovely photo (?) or on the main page of the website there's a player also in the left column. The new track I've just put up is called "I am saved" but if you go to my profile page you'll find all three of Jamies tracks I've uploaded in my player.
Cheers for now
Rob

He was at Brickhill Baptist Church when I was there in my early 20's :)
Anyway.. been great getting to know you :)
