Farewell for now to Fergus
Half way through the tour Fergus got the alarming
news that his family back home had been involved in a motor accident.
All are fine but Fergus naturally felt committed to being with them and had
to fly back to Ireland.
Not before he enjoyed a 'night off curry' on the band's night off in Bath
though

Burnett's Hill Chapel,
Martletwy, Pembrokeshire

The ensuing audience ovation and encores said it all.
(Maybe it's best if Fergus doesn't read this)
