Horseshoe pass gig

RUN 229 The only Mod Band that played an open air Hippy festival on a welsh mountain, in the hope of converting a few longhairs to the cause. To make a good day great we were busted by the drugs squad in the Van on the way back. They didn't find anything though cause one of the band (we won't say who) swallowed it.
MESSAGE FROM RAY
Hi I am ray, is it true I used to play in a band called run229? The doctor tells me I am a farmer in my suppression sessions.
I seem to remember being made to ride on the roof of the van on the way home from gigs. This typewriting is fun!
The thing is udsgjsdrghvs no no get off me__________.

You're a sick man Ray!!
You were actually not made to do this but you insisted on being strapped to the roof
Nick Carr possible siting
Nick was last scene in the late 80's on his way to Scarboro with his girlfriend of the month Dee (who was a shoe maker) He left behind two lines of speed and has never been scene again. Rumours about his whereabouts are legendary. It was thought that in his effort to get away from the band he disguised himself as an Elizabethan antique coffee table and spent years in the Lounge/dining room of a Liverpool Dentist names Frank Clifford. He was sold at auction recently but his new buyer a Miss Smith of Birkenhead realised something was wrong when she saw her new purchase was wearing Dark glasses and Dreadlocks. No further sitings have been scene.
SMALL WORLD
One of the best bands we ever played with. I remember their version of the Monkey's 'I'm a believer' but the best part of the gig was the Party afterwards in a Museum!! I think they had left by then.

Oh, and the Speke Hotel gig, where we lucky to get out without having the tyres slashed. Or the gig in the Lache! The blues brothers were nothing compared to us.
