Madonna and Child

In the middle of all the controversy about Madonna and her adoption, here's her official guide on the subject, as documented on "Talent in a Previous Life"

Big Pants

OK, so it's a couple of months late, but I wanted to share the Crossford Wives most recent promotional item - presenting Frank and the Twins Big Pink Pants TM, as modelled by my daughter.

On complaining about the fact these were HUGE granny pants and not lacy lingerie, reason given was that our name was "too big" to fit on anything more alluring. Next time at Legends, I'm hoping for something small and lacy with "F&TT" on it instead. :-)

We're only here for the beer

Finally, an update on our performance at the Dunfermline Charity Beer Festival - The Falcons (Dunfermline stalwarts and the main band of the evening) graciously allowed us to play a short set midway through the night - thanks due to the guys for the use of the gear. Anyway... it could have gone smoother; 1 broken string, 1 busted lead, and 1 set of flies (mine) left open for the whole set, but our reception from the capacity crowd at the Glen Pavilion was excellent. Hoping we'll get the chance to do this next year...

Coming up next month - a return visit to Legends on the 18th of November, then a "Pink Ladies Evening" Breast Cancer Benefit gig in Edinburgh the following week, already sold out. We're currently working out an arrangement with the wonderful GuitarGuitar chain to borrow some pink guitars, in order to fit in with the theme of the evening.

And finally, Iggy Pop's Tour Rider, worth a read if you haven't already seen it...
