They can't have it, you can't have it, I can't have it too

The briefest of reviews presented in the form of an awards ceremony:

I should like to offer awards in the following categories...

Good-time music: Rezurex (despite the silly name). Feelgood zombie rock'n'roll. With a double bass.

Forgettability: Christians Death. "There's some bloke on stage, mumbling!" I complained to Greg[*]. "Yes," he said, "that's what Christian Death sound like."

Controversially appearing to have fun on stage: Specimen. They're not dead yet.

The Rogue award for services to hairstyles: Specimen's keyboard player.

Runaway success: Voltaire. Second on the bill and playing to the largest audience I've seen at Whitby in a while.

Life-sucking tedium: Wayne Hussey. And he was on stage for about a week.

Serious bastard coldness: the weather on Friday.

And for individuals...

Long-running quality flatmate award: shared between davefish and keris.

Seriously ill-advised clothing: naranek. Deliberately, fortunately. I hope there are no photos.

Comedy genius: tukie for waving his arms about on Saturday morning in a sufficiently humorous manner that it still made me giggle when I thought of it last night.

[*] Note for Oxgoths: Greg. He still exists.

sorry to have missed you we normally manage a flyby hello - weirdly this wasn't the most stressful for a while.

Heehee, I'd forgotten about cloaks. Now I am grinning again :)
(so it's either that or the cold-tablet has kicked in)

You haven't got a phone number/ mail addy for or anything for him have you? I found his copy of Watchmen the other day- he leant it to me just before he left...
