@paulwellerHQ The 3LP vinyl set is a serious piece of kit and looks as good as it sounds. Available from us here: https://t.co/zAOSMrlacE

@BoseOmoregbe Imagine having a full day outt of action because #Worldpay has crashed.
That’s cost us a days sales and no customer service to explain why and when they will be back up.

@soundstoryuk @Trevor_Horn_ “Give Me Back My Heart” by Dollar and of course I’m serious.
It is of course overblown, it is fairlight gone mad but it is perfection.
Sugar coated pop nugget of greatness.

For a minute I thought… 😳

@CaptainSensible @thedamned That stage was running late from John MacKay onwards. His set up and sound check took ages. He even described his set as like Spinal Tap.
The organisers never managed to catch up and it led to the shameful plug pulling of your set. Amateurish & embarrassing for AEG the promoter.

@graham1471 @ProperMusicGrp @MusicWeek @AIM_UK Massive advocate for our part of the music industry. You’ve packed a lot into that 32 years and nurtured many through the perils of starting out. Committed, keen and always ready to listen. GJ you are and always will be one of the good guys.
