Found your song 30 odd years ago, found your Myspace page today!
Still think 'Matchstalk Men' is a really well written song. Thanks for all the enjoyment it has brought me over the years.
Best wishes..

Hi Kevin & Mick,
Many thanks for the comment. We'll add you to the list of names that played the casino on the final film due out sometime this summer. They demolished The Casino just three months ago so it's kind of a fond farewell from us and a celebration of the great acts that played it's boards from 1955-1982.

To answer your question, Yes it had a bar up on the balcony overlooking the stage. That's a fine memory you have sir!

cheers and best of luck with your future performing careers,

chris (ukfm) on behalf of the beat boys.
