We wanted to go and see John Cooper Clarke at the St Helens Citadel in May, but I'd already promised me dad I'd drive him to Willie Nelson and back in Manc that night

You're better off with Willie but I suppose these days his shows are getting more and more relaxed but he does remain one of the greatest songwriters of all time

watch this from 1972: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3DxVVfTifg

but more recently he's become like this:

Twisted - i'm toying with the Weakerthans at the Scala, but what's the odds they'll play Plea From A Cat.. ?

Dunno. I didn't go see them on their last tour as the London and Kingston dates clashed with work. I keep trying to get JS to do a solo gig in SW2 and if that ever comes off he's be contracturally obliged to do it.

Meanwhile I'd spam them with requests from every email account you possess. They'd be fools not to do one of the best songs ever written by anyone ever!
