## Resource

I had a rare old time in Poland last week, in fact it may well be the best h natural show I have played there. Despite a little apprehension on my part, it all went swimmingly, as you are about to hear as we discuss the gig and the set-list in some detail. Of course the next few weeks are going to blur a bit, what with the upcoming Marillion Weekend in Utrecht, and then the run of solo shows that (by tradition) draw the curtain across my musical year. All of which I am looking forward to. But that doesn't mean that in the midst of all this gigging activity, Ant and I don't have one last TCD trick up our sleeve before we sit expectantly around the fireplace waiting for the big fella. And we will let you ponder on that, as you listen to this week's ramble. Love’n’just the one chopstick. h TCD Merch Store Become Purple and support the show The Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997 The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014 Facebook Instagram Website
