John,

What a fine way of meeting it was! A story we can both tell for years.

Wonderful to see you on Monday night - thanks for the company and great to meet Jenny - we will hope to see more of you both before too long, and of course you are always welcome at our place. Next year, we'll be based at Moondance, so that will be new!

Stay in touch - good to see you smiling, you old oaf!

Love,
The other oaf

Hi John,

I caught some of your ICR FM show yesterday, love that Benjamin Zephaniah track you played - Lisnin to the wrong radio station, absolutely brilliant, remined me a little of Saul Williams 'Coded Language' but with more politically cutting lyrics.[BRAVO!]

Peace & Destruction, a life in perfect balance as it should always be..
