"If you listen to just one track this year, it must be Hey Jose by the Trouser Trumpets"
Sir Max Cliff-hanger, Public relations consultant to the Tsars.
Perhaps we'll get through the icy waters (underground) after all, Sid?
A few days earlier, in those halcyon days when the Trouser Trumpets were but a distant cacophony...
Rumours abound of an imminent disaster. The good ship ES appears to be heading straight for the Ice-Dance Christmas Special. The crew are noticeable by their general absence from the controls, and the occassional distress call. Dick Le Burgh has begun to rearrange his chair frequently and Spider is wondering what they will do without their new found friends and the wonderful sounds and pictures and words they have all brought to a little corner of Norfolk.
As passengers on board someone else's venture, there's little we can do but watch and wait. Little, that is, except to thank all those of you who have been so generous with your music, pictures and words. There's an awful lot of effort, love and care gone into so many different things that can be found here, and it has always felt more relaxed and informal, more friendly than the bigger brands I've seen.
So thanks again if it is to be 'goodbye', and thanks to to those who have made this opportunity available.
The Troll? Ha! By the time he re-emerges from his new subterranean pad (which it actually is this time) we'll probably be elsewhere.
As Roy Harper said (something like):
We'll soon be gone from here
Year upon light year
We'll take our stories with us there...
I'm staying on board with the band, but if anyone has any recommendations for an alternative home, should the worst happen, we'll be only too pleased to hear.
Till then, hear this.....!!!!!
It's old, but it's new!
