Manchester: #HMHB due on stage 8:30.

Looking forward to a rare #HMHB home fixture on Fri. Last time at the Ritz, we'd reconvened in the Lass O'Gowrie & noticed 1 of our number was missing. After about 30 mins he emerged with signed 12" singles for all 5 of us. No mean feat as they're not a band who hang around the merch stall post-gig.

Looking forward to the return of #HMHB to Manchester this Friday, and also back to the time on a previous visit back in 2007, when they covered The Fall's 'The Container Drivers' (audio only) #TheFall youtu.be/V7C1AL7qmkI?...

Hats off to a woman called Sarah we met in the street on Friday night, while looking for a suitable pre-gig pub. She'd driven solo ("my husband likes Bruce Springsteen") from North London to Wolverhampton to watch the mighty #HMHB, and joined us for a few beers. Great commitment.

'But I don't want anymore stark German film noirs And I could well do without The hand-clapping sequence at the end of Blockbusters' #HMHB

Spoke to someone tonight who was at his 200th Half Man Half Biscuit gig. I suggested it must be something of a record, at which he nodded to the guy next to him, who coughed “221…” Respect! #HMHB
