This evening, we walked down the road to our local, the Three Tuns, to see the Skatoons.  Well worth seeing if you like a bit of Ska. 

While there, I enjoyed conversation with a man from Glasgow. He lives around the corner to my old flat in Washington. He’s a Celtic fan, although most of his family are Rangers fans. 

Anyway, the band was pretty good. After which, Sooz had nachos and I asked whether music could be played. Well, it was late, so music had been turned off. 

And so, I asked for anything from Augustines. Randomly, we heard the Avenue. 

It’s probably my most favourite Augustines’ song. While I very much regret that the band split up last year, I enjoyed Mr McCarthy’s solo gigs in Berlin and Munich. 

Very much. 

Taking time off work for those gigs meant that we couldn’t go mad in the UK. So we shall only see him play once here. In Newcastle. So looking forward to it though.
