Who'da believed that for all these years Bill was miming to a backing tape, like that Milli Vanilli chap !!! Those actors, eh ? If you could give me the tape of his final 'performance' I could add it to the video ...cheers... and I suppose I could buy the latest album ('Easy listening' ? How very dare you !)... if I could find it in a shop... awra best d:oP
2 hour final set, and yous never played 'The Shanghai' or any Jennifer Rush... Unforgiveable ! Video footage looks good so far, and the collapsing keyboard's going straight onto youchoob !!
The BEST band ever to hail from these shores....We salute you MIGHTY Blimp for all your noises from the CCO all the way to the end, the album is a clasic...Love always from The Surfin' Gnomes and the dreamsociety XX

awesome show last night, sad to see you guys go. I had beer, I saw the Blimp, I shook the hand of William Rogue in the bar. What more does a night out need? All the best, guys and thanks for the fun!
Should be a great show on Saturday. Sadly, I'm playing a gig myself that night - so cannae make it. But I wish you guys all the best. You are brilliant! Cheers - Andy
