"magical timperley tour"

hello fantastic fans,....
i've been fixing my garden shed today,.. which took a bit of a battering recently ,... but it's ok.


and yes,.. i did eat too much cake on monday,.... but i’m ok !!! (i have to watch my weight you kow,.... being in showbizness and all that !).


well,... on the concert front ,... i’m at the "salutation" in manchester (behind the university) next thursday (10th april) ,.... and then the following night i’m at york city f.c.’s social cub on kit kat lane in york. there’s my ace marathon show at the ’citadel’ in st. helens on 23rd may ,.... and then the following week i’m at ’the cavern’ in liverpool on the 28th as part of a special benefit night (but not for mr. kite,... allthough i might sing that !!!)


......
there's also my 'unroyal varietiey show' coming up at the bull and gate in kentish town which will be a gala show.
.......and the big one for june is what could be my last ever (on the 22nd ) "magical timperley tour" (as we might have outgrown it). places will be scarce, as the open top bus only hold 30 people on each of the 3 trips,... so book early !. but it’s a ace chance to get me as your personal tour guide,.. and ther’ll be some ace new surprises on this one both on and off the bus !!!. .... for full booking details for the bus tour and evening concert at timperley labour club,.... phone mr. alston (the bus conductor) on 07966 189650 or 0161 652 1217 and he’ll sort you out.








there are also concerts coming up for july in london and glasgow and then a couple of festivals in august ,.... ’kendal calling’ and ’rebellion’ the blackpool punk fest. keep an eye on mymyspace ’shows’ list,... or my ’concert’ listing on www.franksworld.co.uk ....... then september sees my u.k. tour with charlie chuck ,... that should be good !


....... i’m off to practice wearing my ’blob’ and ’oing through the mirror’ for yoko on friday at the bluecoat gallery..... you know i am,.... i really am.


best regards
