According to my receipt, I paid £1-30 for ticket delivery to my address which is correct thereon. Am I the only attendee that has not received the ticket(s)? or have I missed an announcement? If the tickets have been sent but not received, I shall have to 'phone the Box Office tomorrow for clarification because it's along way to go and be refused admission.
I've had to print the Covid form today because the much vaunted Track'n'trace app is not available to my device, at least it's not offered through the Google App Store. Millions of taxpayers wonga that software cost. I guess should have elected to have tickets delivered electronically. What have we come to ladies and gentlemen?

Stevie, The tickets I ordered were delivered by post a few days ago. I'm sure there won't be a problem because you have proof that you bought the ticket. Probably worth calling the box office in the morning, but as this is their first performance in the Forge there might be a few teething problems. Just come and if there is a problem, call me.
As a performer I have received pages and pages of Covid safety regulations, and as a member of the public with two tickets I have also received a mountain of information about Track & Trace, buying drinks and using the toilets! They're certainly making sure they and we are well covered and safe.
Shine On Michael

Thanks Michael. I received all the keep safe and keep well information eMail too, and I agree that they've dotted all the "I"s and crossed all the "Tee"s. That eMail advising of all the provisions and precautions came from a different source than the invoice / receipt / confirmation and that seemed odd as well. Never mind! Looking forward to tomorrow night. Break a leg!

I haven't received any of this info!!! You have now. I just emailed it to you. It's important to have it because you can't order a drink without it. Maybe you can forward it to Jono and anyone else that you know is going Shine On Michael

It was a really exceptional show. I accompanied an occasional guitar playing friend and he thoroughly enjoyed the evening. According to a statement made by MM during the show, it was 2009 when my friend and I attended Nordern Farm on the Louisiana Red Tour. Tempus Fugit indeed.
MM was periodically accompanied by Pete Weber playing his Hofner semi jazz box and he was a very capable performer in his own right. Both thumbs-up for Pete.
The stage was a cornucopia of to die for guit-fiddles including the hallowed Havana which saw a much anticipated outing. Pete even played an MM Blues 12 that sounded great
I can't remember ever walking away from a gig with a new slide in my pocket. Many many thanks to Lew for that wonderful gesture. I suspect he's just infecting as many folk as possible with his own addiction! Cheers Lewis Mate.

Photo by ©Lorraine Lucas Thanks to everyone for being there last night. I enjoyed every second of the evening, even the unloading and and loading of the car was a treat! It felt very special to me, not just because it was my first performance in so long, but because I was talking about and honouring my late friend, Terry Clarke. It was also my first performance since my Mother died last July, so although I didn't speak about her, she was in my thoughts all through the two sets. She loved live music and was always so proud of mine and my two brothers achievements in the music world. Pete Webber played really well and considering we have never done that before and the only rehearsal was earlier at the soundcheck, Pete did brilliantly. I especially enjoyed his playing in Crow Blues. Jono, it was great to see you and have a chat. Stevie, thank you for your wonderful words this morning. I guess it was due to the masks, but I didn't see you, or did i? I would loved to have had a chat with you. This morning I feel like me again, the person that has been travelling and playing music for audiences for the past 40 or so years. Thank you to everyone that was there. I am pretty knackered this morning! Shine On Michael

I gave you two thumbs up as we were leaving Michael, albeit behind the mask and a human screen!
It's in the nature of these things that a percentage of the audience monopolise the turns at the post show mingle, so I generally stand back. There's always next time ... Thanks for a great show.

bu88er, you people like to rub it in, don't you. Glad it was a good'n for you all though and MM being knackered usually means it was a great gig. PS - if the Havana ever needs a holiday it can always come for a week or two on the North Sea coast y'know.
