Big After Christmas Descending Together Always The Same Another New Iceland John (You're Not Wrong) Sunrise/Hard Times/Planet Claire |
An open air gig playing on the back of a truck. The full bill consisted of us, Colliding Circles, Abstracht, Electric Druids and, I think, Tokyo. We were originally supposed to go on last but lots of jiggery pokery by the Deeside contingent meant that we ended up opening. The event was rained off just after Colliding Circles played... nice. |

Another New Iceland Descending Together The Child With the Mirror Here Chaos... |
Again, not one of our better performances! A run in with Wrexham/Wales goalkeeper Dai Davies and countless other incidents led to the plug being pulled prematurely, (or not soon enough, depending on your point of view!) |

Dave Kelly's 40th birthday bash. No keyboard for much of the set and a pitiful attempt by Dave to perform A.N.I. although, to be fair, we didn't actually tell him about it until a minute before we started playing it. |
