My birthday present to myself this year is a week of Rock ‘n’ Roll – Let’s see if I really could be Lemmy…

Day 1

First gig of the week at Carpe. Went down well. Noisy crowd but I got their silence and attention by end of the first poem. Probably because of saying clit and balls (the power of words is incredible)

Chatted to a few cool people and saw the guy out of Arizona Bay do his first gig with his new band. Pretty good it was too (wish I could remember who the singer reminds me of though)

Played 9 games of pinball for £1 – kept getting replays all over the shop – and got my name on the score board for 3rd highest score. And had 5 free balls in one game (new record for me)

Set list

My Kinda Woman
Killer Nuns
Big Log
X-Factory

Score card (that I’ll either be proud or ashamed off in years to come)
