Hey all...
Just thought I'd post the results (what I can remember) of the Evershot Robyn
and Homer did Saturday 17th August.
Geography: (my UK geography is a little weak, being an itinerant American, so
jets off if I get the locale wrong). Evershot is a village in Dorset, in the
west of England. For those people what like maps, it's south of a town called
Yeovil on the A37. Why did Robyn agree to play here? Well, he's played there
before, I guess. The man that manages the village hall, Andrew, dates Robyn's
sister.
The village hall was VERY small-- about the size of a badminton court. In fact,
it IS a badminton court when it's not being used for village meetings, concerts,
etc. Admission was 4 pounds!
Homer Set:
I wish I could remember the songs. I've never seen or heard them before this
occasion, just in their respective other bands. They're a great band in their
own right. Check out their web page at http://www.foresight.co.uk/homer/ for
more info, and go see 'em if you get a chance.

Good gig. Like being in someone's house! The sound was excellent (thanks,
Jen). Robyn and Homer play well to-gether, despite the fact they've only played
together a couple of times. Some of those tunes are nasty HARD to play.
I haven't been able to lay my mitts on a copy of either of the "Mossy" twins,
but I liked the new songs I heard last night very much.
Thanks a lot...look after yerselves...
-Ed, Doc, amazed at how GORGEOUS England is.
P.S. Listening to The Tragically Hip, "Trouble At The Henhouse". Another
stunning album.
P.P.S. Robyn was wearing lime-green pants. Amazing.
