No.
Hot pools, bubbling mud, naturally heated tentsites...
I saw a thing on BBC breakfast about Aussie this morning. Le sigh.

Well, you may or may not be pleased to know that a little bit of England on the shape of John Otway will be heading your way later this year :Rory wrote:- but I still love England - probably more so now that I'm only there for a few weeks a year.

It seems he'll be doing a gig in Ningbo in November. If you want to baffle your Chinese colleagues with some real English eccentricity, well there's your chance!

He's still barking mad, and has decided to charter a plane, get some fans to stump up to go on the tour with him, etc. It's all on the website.
Apparently the people who make his amps (Carlsboro) are in Ningbo, which is why he's doing something there.

I'll keep you posted.
You'll be glad to hear that were getting going a bit more with the old trumpet these days (the same one actually)
Did a gig on Monday night in Tanghui Bar with a band called Georgia SAM Blues Band and also last Saturday some jamming with another lot at a dive called Live Bar.
All lots of fun and beer and stuff..........

Sigh. I miss the "expat life". Reminiscing about mother england and sipping tea whilst proclaiming how life is just so much better in the colonies.
