The comedy was just about as good as it gets, every movement, mannerism and line a classic. John did his thing, begged Mary to come home, shared a few home truth's and the two hours was gone. Only a few very gifted people can do that...I don't think the audience stopped laughing once...in fact I know they didn't (self included).

After the performance I hoped to get a chat with John but unfortunately a good friend of his, Graham Fellows told me he had just left. However Graham was only too happy to have a chat.

after the show.

I asked Graham if he had been to the BathFringe before?

" I've been to Bath before, it's a very pretty place...and I would like to come back again.
I went to the Fringe Club last night...although I am not sure how many of the people there knew they were at the 'Fringe'...however they were making plenty of noise and having a good time."

Graham showed interested in my digital camera, so I quickly explained it.

" I went into the town today and bought myself a new camera lens, a 80 - 200 zoom Pentax K fitting... I've got a Pentax K1000 camera...there all right aren't they?"

(I agreed they are)
What will John be doing over the next few months, I asked?

" Next he will be doing the Kilkenney Festival , in Ireland and the Edinburgh Festival at the 'Pleasance Venue' 9 - 20 August."

" I also have a new show coming up called, 'If music be the love of food-tuck in!'
also...
Autumn Radio 4 - a 5 part 30min comedy sketch series.
UK Tour - 3 months starting Jan '99
BBC Video for the BBC Internet Corp. video
" Filmed in a Virtual Reality studio"

" So this interview will be on the Internet?" Graham asked.
" I did a live chat on the Internet for the BBC; questions and answers. I answered questions that were typed up on the screen by someone who typed in my answers. A phone-in would have been better?.
In a way it's just justifying technology? I agree it's a great idea in theory but in practice you've just got loads of idiots just setting up their own websites....that's good though I suppose! All the time you've got, just busy on the Internet...isn't it just spiraling in on itself? because the information is just... should'nt people be looking at life really?" Graham commented

You mean it's insular?

" Yeah, I suppose so really yeah."

Loads of stuff: tapes, tee shirts, badges, etc."

I asked Jamie about the GIG literally seconds before going on at 8pm.
"I'm looking forward to tonight, it coincides with our CD launch, our second. The new CD is called 'The big Scoop',its on our own label: GET REAL PRODUCTIONS , and it's available through Direct Distributions."

How would you describe the bands music in say 5 words?

Jamie thought about it for a second or two:

"Lost music of Krypton rediscovered"
