The Fannies were the funnest most unpretentious bunch of guys one
couldimagine and were a great alternative to the angst we so often get
nowadays.  They played songs from their short history and the odd
cover - I remember an astonishing cover of a Yo La Tengo instrumental
(can't remember the name - somebody please tell me about them??) and
The Byrds'  Mr  Tambourine Man.(few bands would get away so
successfully with that).  Faves like Star Sign and Radio got the crowd
jumping as did their new stuff from Grand Prix.

Raymond, Gerard and the beardless and chatty Norman all played their
songs.  Paul Quinn the new drummer has a marvellously understated
style.

Everyone walked out of the venue with smiles on their faces and hey I
got mugged on the way home and was still happy - those losers that
stole my cash didn't see the Fannies!

Teenage Fanclub make the difficult appear so damn simple.

All I can say is come back - soon.
