I have never met such a bunch of wankers, and by the way I saw the CD, you lot are the girls. I'll get my mates to come to the Brudenell Social Club and then we'll see who is well hard.

Grrr... I'll get you, T & B's, if it's the last thing I do!!! THE TIME OF RECKONING WILL COME!!!

Ben says: Back in your hole, sorcerer-type, and take your delphic caveats with you! As long as the T&B Specialists have breath in their gestalt-type body, innocent timepieces, such as wristwatches, sun-dials, egg-timers, and chronometers etc., have nothing to fear!

Ambs, Love the CD listened to it yesterday when I got home - fabulous - always knew you would be a star. Read one of the reviews though and it says that it warms the naughty bits on both men and women.... which track is that then (hee hee) :@) Lovely to see you, you look fabulous as usual, Hope all goes well with the band - all of you sound absolutely superb and even got my un-coordinated butt moving. Take it easy.  H

Amber says: Hi Hel thanks for all the praise, I will be mailing you soon...

I got your CD last night and have to post a message to say just how good it is! I expect you've heard it all before, but it way surpassed my expectations. It's irresistibly funky - and impossible to play just once! It does leave you wanting more though - when's the LP due? If I was an A&R guy you'd have a contract already. Congratulations on producing a superb CD, I'm looking forward to your next release!

Hi Sienna,
I have heard you have broken your leg! So I think you should get over to York, might take some time on your crutches! and we will allo sign your cast for you. Take care, get as much sympathy as possible, and
hope it doesn't cause you too much pain!

Love  the T and B's

Jonni, after some help from Oliver I remember! This was 10 or 11 years ago though. I can oblige you with the aforementioned remixes. I'm looking forward to hearing the CD but from your reviews I think I need to have the live experience!

Jonni Asks: Does Edmund Blackadder like Marsh Mallows?

Blackadder Replies: I haven't been called Blackadder in a long time! No, I don't like Marsh Mallows... but it helps Dutch people spell my name so I say it all the time myself. I'm mailing you from a coffeeshop in Amsterdam!

Glad to see things are going well! Keep a copy of the CD for me, and I'll pick it up next time I'm in the UK. Can't wait to hear it after reading your reviews - York has needed something different musically for years. Fancy playing in Amsterdam? I'll find some venues for you...
