Many thanks to Graeme Garden and the folks at the Saucy Gibbon site (www.the-goodies.co.uk) for the following.  The site had asked if it would be possible for Tim & Graeme to provide a blog or diary about their tour.  Graeme has kindly sent the following and asked that it be shared with the fan club members as well.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tour has been going very nicely so far.  Torquay was a disappointingly small turnout, but it was a big theatre in an out-of-season holiday town, and the response was nonetheless warm.  We’ve had much fuller audiences at the other gigs, and apart from a few minor technical hitches (one night Tim’s microphone made noises like a rocket attack and he had to rely on vocal power alone for a while) the shows have gone well and been very happily received. 

Tim and I are especially pleased, and relieved, that Teddy and Freddy seem to be amusing the audiences in a very gratifying way.  We always enjoyed playing the characters, and it’s great fun to be doing them again.

Frank and Matt have been looking after us and running the shows with their customary cheerful efficiency and are, as always, a pleasure to be with.

All the best to the members and a big thank you to all those who are turning out to support us.  We’re looking forward to the rest of the tour and will try to keep you up to date with news on the road.

Goody wishes to one and all
Graeme
