Me and Mr Balvack were interested in coming to this, until we realised you needed to be able to play an instrument to Grade 7 standard

Should be good fun though for those that do qualify: Mr Frith is great. Does "Henry Cow" mean anything to you, Scottyboy?

Info about him here

I'm out, also due to lack of a high standard.
