Like we said in the last diary entry, we would like to tell you about the time John went on stage dressed like a hippy extra from Star Trek!

Getting ready to go onstage without the luxury of a mirror is something you would think we would be used to by now, bearing in mind most venues think that a mirror in a dressing room would be as useful as a fridge full of warm beer (take note gaffers!) Therefore for our sartorial elegance, we have to rely on each other, this, as John found out, is not always a good idea.

Kev always wants to know " is my bandanna on straight?" but larking about this one time he put it on so he looked like the Pope. "Shall I go on like this?" he asked, "yeah" said John, who, not to be outdone, tucked his crushed velvet flares into his sock’s ALA Captain Kirk. "Beam me up Scotty". Well ten minutes later during the opening number, that’s just what John wished would happen…. neither Mark or Kev had told John that he still had his trousers tucked into his socks! "We didn’t notice, honest" …Yeah! Right.

John to this day cannot forget the mocking faces of the people in the front row as they howled with laughter. Well it’s well known that Jimi was a science fiction fan!
