In the wee hours of the morning the following hit my email… The Pink Fairies are sad to announce that due to circumstances so beyond our control it`s not true, we won`t be able to make the Roundhouse gig on Jan 22nd. Larry has a trapped sciatic nerve, which to the non-medically mined, is the longest nerve in the body, travelling from the lower back, down the length of the leg. This is an incredibly painful and debillitating condition, making all movement impossible, without a lot of screaming and shouting. We`ve tried everything, from the strongest drugs possible, to Osteopathy, Accupuncture, and Chinese Massage, and short of sacrificing a goat and dancing in the woods, we have run out of options. So, we do hope, that with the indulgence of our friends out there, and the Roundhouse folks, we will be able to re-schedule, and attempt to put on the kind of show that our loyal and much-loved fans deserve, as soon as health returns to the Pinks camp. Once again, we are really sorry kiddies, but whatcha gonna do?
Which is a damned good question since I’m sitting here, too late to improvise, with a plane ticket and a desire to make history and the strong feeling that this is a chance that will not easily come again. Maybe we should have sacrificed the goat.
The secret word is Disappointed

Shanghai Blackie?
Maybe if Wallis hadn't insisted on being the lone, bullgoose, alpha guitarist something might have been improvised and the bacon saved.
Sacrifice the goat! Now!
The goat joined a Kiss tribute band.
Now it seems, as I understand it, that the Roundhouse, feeling somewhat fucked-over, have no intention of re-scheduling. This pooch is royally screwed, which I feel highly upsetting and more. (But that may be a matter for later discussion, after all the arrangements have been unravelled.
Maybe that's the crux of the problem. I have so little interest in being a legend. (We have plenty of time to be legends when we're dead.) My only interest is in continuing to function as a forward moving and productive artist. Okay so maybe I'm not as fast and slipper as of yore, but I am far more skilled, cunning, and well informed. Still, though, I know the edict of Mr Natural must be obeyed, and thus I quest can only quest into the unknown.
Now we know which goat to sacrifice.
mick, what are you saying about lazza? that he didn't want blackie to play? or am i reading too much into your "lone, bullgoose, alpha guitarist" comment?
If not from the get-go, certainly from the point that I was invited to guest on the show, it was absolutely, positively a "King's Of Oblivion" Pink Fairies reunion, and that Larry would even be doing songs off his "Guitar Afternoon" CD. I do know an offer from Andy Colquhoun to fly in was declined.
