I was so looking forward to our gig at “The Slaughtered Lamb” in Clerkenwell, but I started to feel really ill a couple of days after getting home from Thailand. This vague feeling then changed into a raging full on infection in my leg and a fever. Finding that I couldn’t stand up, we had to cancel the gig – the first we have since my appendicitis! All back to normal now and we’ll be rescheduling that gig.

Most likely cause seems to have been a mosquito bite or standing waist deep in slightly green water at an elephant sanctuary. My wife says we’re going to Cornwall next year and to be honest I’m more than ok with that……
