Great show - really enjoyed both sets, they took me on a trip! Bought a Balloonist CD from the merch stall - playing it now to help me settle back into the week.

The initial demo version of Sexual Maypole Crevice feat Brian Cant on dulcimer is the best thing they ever did. Shame they re-recorded it for the album and replaced him with Lesley Judd on the penny whistle.

Ah, I was there too. A magical gig.

I grew up as the only child of a profundly deaf Mum. She always struggled to pronounce consonant clusters so 'satsumas' were 'statue-mers' and 'skittles' were 'stickles'. I'd sometimes hear the correct pronunciations and feel sorry for the poor people who didn't know how to say the words properly!

I was - every time I watch that episode I think of it!

Ha! I need to find a trailer for that, looks intriguing.

We don't hear much from the Hamburglar these days - it's possible he has branched out into new areas.

That's cos he doesn't play the guitar and knows no different. I think the Edge told him they have 5, just as a joke.
