To All Undressers Everywhere!
One of the great things that we've noticed over the past few months is no matter where we've played - even in Scotland and Cornwall - we've yet to be at a gig where there isn't at least one person who's seen us before! It's just so encouraging and what's so heart-warming, too, is that people have sometimes travelled a long way for one of our gigs. So to Eric and Sue who drove up from Christchurch to film us at Tan Hill Inn, miles away from anywhere, spectacular, remote, breathtakingly beautiful and full of extraordinary people and to lovely, wonderful 'Norvern Git', Malcolm, who came up there from Leeds to bring us home-made pork pies, to the Steamers who we'd met at Strawberries and Steam last year and who were on holiday in Looe; Angela and Tony who paid us a 'surprise visit' to Boscastle; to Ronnie, Gail and their friends in Berwick; to Chris who came back early from Belgium when he heard we had a gig at the Fox and Hounds, yesterday - the warmth of the welcome at both Christchurch on Saturday night and Wroughton on Sunday was wonderful - just like playing to a load of your mates; to the half a dozen lovely fellas in Andover who'd seen us either at The Beggars Fair or The Great Dorset Fair or at the Queen Charlotte (and that must be at least two years ago) and said 'We've been waiting and waiting for you to come back to this area...' - to all those wonderful Undressers who turn out for us time after time in all weathers , and to those who are busy making arrangements to get to Ireland to see us at the Tall Ships Race Festival, we send you our love and thanks! Keep on shakin'!! Charlie xx
