Folkestone Fun n Frolics

Pretty sure he was just being a wind-up merchant

Yeah, probably, the cheeky scamp.

They look happy, even though it appears Yan is about to clout Abi with a shoe.

[The London Line]

It's a great picture.

It's a very trad rock pose but all the same very endearing. It's especially good of Woody and Abi who aren't usually very demonstrative characters.

I'm pretty sure Yan has announced the last of a previous tour as being 'our last gig' in this manner before, no? But then again, he did repeat it three times, and its hard to fathom to what point if it wasn't actually true. I don't see how it could be true, what with the festivals etc, but then again Race Horses split up with a full tour diary ahead of them, so who knows?

I'm worried now.

I'd be gutted to be honest..

Maybe he just wanted to see if anyone would be bothered. After all, according to recent posts the band are now crap live, their albums have terrible production and have all the wrong songs on and they wear the wrong kind of trouser. Pity poor BSP, you can't blame them for feeling slightly despondent. I think it's a little test of devotion.

I'm still devoted.

[Wicker Man]

Yes, I was worried the trouser thing might have pushed them over the edge.
Dear Yan: I'd far rather have BSP wearing jeans than no BSP at all.
Also, 'Machineries of Joy' is perfect - I wouldn't change a thing.

[Blackout]

I think I missed trousergate, was someone projecting their own view of what they think BSP should be onto the real life humans in the band again? zzzzzzzz

Well, sort of, in a light-hearted fashion.
My no jeans rule isn't confined to BSP, though, I extend it to anyone who performs on stage, with the exception of Status Quo and him out of Smog.

Great footage...was it Yan just getting caught up in the 'moment' rather than some subliminal message?

Ah well if it's a general intolerance I'm all for it, as the forum may have noted I harbour several of such myself (though I hope nobody takes my postings on here 100% seriously. I get all shouty and rude and stuff, I'm totally not like that in real life. A bit passive-aggressive sometimes when faced with certain levels of idiocy, but mostly rather quiet and nervous...)

Anyway, aesthetically I can't disagree with you, having last personally purchased blue denim clothing in 1990 (I blame the rave drugs). Though as I try and think of what the performers were wearing on their legs at a number of my favourite gigs and realising I can't remember, it's clearly not actually that important to me....

[Rake]

Right, best get this out of the way then just in case....

Yan, I was only joking about the pies, I kinda like you cuddly. Your brother is worrying me a bit though.

Your ever devoted servant,

Rake
