Here’s some fascinating trivia for you. Did you know that there are only four degrees of separation between Bombskare and Kevin Bacon? That’s the same as Adolph Hitler. It’s true. Let me enlighten you. I am in Bombskare and I worked as a focus tester on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which means I’m in the game credits, somewhere near the bottom, which also featured Gary Busey, who was also in ‘The Firm’ with Tom Cruise, who was in ‘A Few Good Men’ with Kevin Bacon; Adolph Hitler was in ‘Triumph of the Will’, which was directed by Leni Riefenstahl, who in turn was in ‘Das Blaue Licht’, with Mathias Wieman, who was in ‘Die Ehe des Dr. med. Danwitz’ with Maximilian Schell, who was in ‘Telling Lies in America’ with Kevin Bacon. QED. Admit it, you’re impressed. It’s not as close as Root System though. Apparently our Kev was Kevin Bacon’s stunt dance double on ‘Footloose’. Didn’t know that, did you? It’s a widely believed fact.
When I first saw it, it scared me. It was like the building was staring at me, all the way through our set. Very unnerving. Before us were the amazing Samba Ya Bamba, and after us the also amazing The Aliens. Andy and I were interviewed for the Vic Galloway show. God knows what I said, and don’t believe a word of it. One thing I will say, apart from the terrible midgies, it has the makings of an excellent festival, in a really interesting location.
Thanks to our Annaline for the photos. Our next gig is up north at The Insider, near Aviemore. Probably more midgies. I’ll definitely be bringing the skin so soft this time, unlike last time.
On one final note. Many congratulations to Murray’s sister Lindsay who has just had a baby girl. All the best from all of us. Here’s hoping she has no resemblance to her Uncle!
