Great gig yesterday

It was a great gig yesterday afternoon despite the poor weather and clashing wimbledon final keeping some of the potential audience away. Those that were there enjoyed it and there were lots of nice compliments after we played. Thanks to John and Tomas for their fantastic playing, as always, and thanks also to the support of guest players Graham and Gilly who joined in on saxophones for the last three numbers. Here's the set list:

Zoot Allures
Oh No
Orange County Lumber Truck
Echidna's Arf
Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?

Magic Fingers

Blessed Relief
Chunga's Revenge
Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
