This was one of The Dees’ last gigs before activities petered-out in 2007 ish.

Yesterday we won a BAFTA at the BAFTAS.
Wendy and I just spent Christmas in Mexico. Great times – and there were fewer Tsunamis here.
Wend and I had a great time with Mel & Steve scrambling in Wales. Knackering, but what an amazing laugh (especially in hindsight).
Wendy and I just had a weekend in Milan. Great city, but a little bit uncomfortable in a couple of ways…
We’ve just been in Studio with Niall Acott to some tunes for The Dees. This time it’s a 4 track EP, and a little rockier.
Retrospective post. We had the most amazing holiday in Thailand in 2004. It was also a little traumatic, as the Tsunami hit on boxing day. The Thai people were wonderful at every single point of the holiday – it remains one of our best holidays ever.
Retrospective post. In a cold, wet October in 2004, Wendy and I visited Ali in Copenhagen. Once again, FIRST CLASS Mr Shah! Great trip.
