Reviews from NYC

[Stevie Sticks]

I've seen them live a few times (Captain Mildred) - they're superb and a bunch of nice guys to boot

Have you ?? I'm now intrigued as to who you are....
But God bless ya for the kind words.
See you, albeit maybe unknowingly, again soon, I hope.

I'm pretty sure the guy you are thining of is Matt. Top bloke! Carol, Steve, and Calvin all rock too. I was just at their site, www.captainmildred.com. They play mostly covers, and wow, what a nice setlist!

Yo, Geez ! Steve here - my first post. Hello, everyone ! Great to meet you and Amanda, Abby and the Birmingham crowd. What a time, eh ? That stretch limo was......bizarre ! And I've already bought my bonnet for the big day. Congrats again.
Take it easy, guys.

It was a hell of a time. The awesome people I met were, expectedly, a highlight.

The limo rocked. Don't forget the comedy show... "I don't know who this Alkeeda bitch is, but...."

Who was the bloke with the Ginger and the Scorchers t-shirt who wrote for the Sun? Im sorry I was still pissed from the Brooklyn show the night before!

Hi mate - yeah, that was me (Matt).

Was a pleasure to meet y'all. And Lordie, don't forget you're coming to a Mildred gig when you're here too (not to mention the fact we're your wedding band )

I hope so!

And Amanda finally spoke to her father... first time in 6 years. We have to go visit him sometime, so we'll try to time it with a Wildhearts or Ginger UK tour, and hopefully you're either playing somewhere nearby, or attending their shows (or better yet, opening for them!)

Here's me with the band. I wish my girlfriend Rachael would have told me I looked like such a doofus. I would have stood up straight and had her take another shot.



So how did you meet the band? They were kicking people off the boat pretty quickly after we docked. Does anyone have a tape of this or any other US show?

They did kick us off the boat. They also tried to kick us off the dock just outside the boat, but didn't quite so good a job of it. They told us to get moving, so we walked five feet or so until the bouncers were distracted telling someone else to leave. It took awhile, but when the guys came out, no one really had the nerve to try to make us leave. By the time I left, it was more because Scott and Ginger kept saying they had a plane to catch than because of the bouncers.

Very nice! Persistance paid off. Good for you.
