Was a pleasure to meet you too. Thanks for letting me hang out with you and your family, i had to do all the gigs on my own so it was nice to have people to sing along with.

I was part of Express FM for about 4 years. The station is based in Portsmouth. The last show we ever did was all Cable. Was kind of fun and kind of a nightmare, met some very cool people and some absolute twats. I did get to see many awesome bands for free and received countless free music so was worth it for that.

I got to interview Frank Turner (before he became a complete sell out) Pulled Apart By Horses (3 times) Cable, Dinosaur Pile-Up, The Twang, Levellers, Hadouken, Admiral Fallow, Band Of Skulls, The Quails, Inpiral Carpets, The Lost Prophets and many more that i have long forgotten. I have an impressive collection of signed CD's and vinyl. For some reason i Have multiple signed copies of Pulled Apart By Horses and Band Of Skulls debut albums.

I have many "arsehole celebrity" stories but can't post them as i don't want sued

Well, it's been a month since what was one of THE gigs of my life and it is still impossible for me to put into words quite what an event it was. Derby was a great gig (and a brilliant day/night away from the smoke) and the support slots were a chance to get another hit of Cable but the Garage gig.....no superlatives suffice.

Good to meet Damon and Si, top guys, lets hope we have another chance to meet.

Cable must, MUST play again..........please.

Rowan.

lol thanks. I have a huge when animals attack promotional poster that is signed by the band, as is my copy of when animals attack. I also have some tickets from back in the day that they all signed too. So giving away the signed CD just felt like a nice thing to do, i was shocked by how many people text in trying to win it.

Cool! Yeah I kinda suspected you must already have signed stuff to give something so precious away.
Still, an honourable thing to do though, and it makes me happy to know the 'radio give-away' prize turned into very much a popular wanted item. I'm curious, where was the radio show based?

My Demos And Unreleased Songs cd turned up on Wednesday, it's great to hear those tracks.

At the Garage show there was a fuck ton of people in the crowd taping it. Don't know if any of it will get uploaded to youtube but there were a LOT of people taping. Out of all the shows the one at the garage was the tightest so if any or all of the show got released it would probably be that one.

Cool! Hopefully someone might share their recording on Dime some day...

When i interviewed the band at the forum i got them all to sign a copy of the demos and unreleased stuff to give away on the radio show i was involved with. At the last minute i suddenly though "damn, i should have just kept it for myself" but gave it away. I stole the "Cable dressing room" sign on my way out so that cheered me up.

When I first saw the scan of that signed cd on the front page,
the last thing i'd have suspected was that the owner had plans to give it away,
even if it was on a radio show... You lunatic 
A generous, thoughtful lunatic though

I'm sad to say I had no idea about these reunion shows until about 2 weeks ago.
Only ever got to see them once before when they played Liverpool in 1998, I turned a friend onto them around the same time and totally loves them, but hates the fact he missed the opportunity to see them with me that night, as I went to see them on my own. We would have both travelled to see them at one of these reunion shows, in fact i'm still a bit pissed off that such news did not reach me until recently...

Anyway, it's been great to see lots of footage from some of the shows on YouTube, awesome.
It's also good to hear a show may have been recorded, hope there are plans for a release.
I'm actually surprised though that no-one appears to have taped from the audience, well,
i've not seen anything being circulated at this time anyway...
