| links to a few Goodies print interviews |
more from same (The Goodies) |
 Here are links to a couple of print articles related to the Goodies current tour, plus a few others. Due to the length of the pieces I'm only going to include cut & pastes of the 3 tour related ones in this message (you can see them using the "click here for more" link). I hope to put all the articles in the Spotted Forum within a few days.
Let us know if you spot other articles or interviews - your help is always appreciated!
* From the Hull Daily Mail, 31 March 2007
* From the Essex Chronicle Gazette
* A small piece (though not an interview) from theBromsgrove Advertiser
Not related to the tour, but what the heck, might as well pass them along as long as I found them:
* From Derbyshire (perhaps the Evening Telegraph), 7 Dec 2006:
* Two articles from the Northampton Chronicle and Echo, 20 Sept 2001 here and also here.

| Graeme's latest tour update |
more from same (The Goodies) |
Here's the latest installment in Graeme's tour diary. Many thanks to the wonderful Dr. Garden on behalf of the fans for these updates!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Latest news:
Friday March 30th
A cold wet day in Tunbridge Wells, but a very comfortable hotel to relax in before the show. Not a full house but another appreciative audience. The show went pretty smoothly after our days off. In Pets’ Corner the Sahara Rabbit developed a bit of attitude and grabbed my shoulder with his little paws and refused to be thrown away. He dropped to the floor just behind me. I must have words.
At one point I accidentally hit my microphone while Tim was talking and it made a bang like a gunshot, which had him hiding behind the lectern.
A nice group of supporters at the stage door included Carrie (the Minx) and her friend Rosemarie. Hugs and autographs were duly supplied.
Saturday: A very jolly audience at Basingstoke, and they kept up their enthusiasm right to the end! Lots of books and records to be signed at the Stage Door afterwards. The Guardian printed my Q&A with a very peculiar choice of photo! We later heard that the Guardian critic was in the audience.
Sunday in Southend-on-Sea, and despite an apparent lack of any posters outside the theatre or anywhere else, we had a very good sized and appreciative audience. We knew Clair, Kate and Helen were in again when one or two loud laughs scared the rest of the audience. Also at one point puppet Bill took on a life of his own and lunged at Tim and terrified him!
We met Tim’s agent after the show in the bar, where we signed more autographs than anywhere else so far I think. Among the folk we met after the show was Olga who had been a faithful fan way back in the ISIRTA radio days and who was there with her daughter.
We spent the night in a good old-fashioned boarding house by the sea. I didn’t expect much sleep after a car in the car-park played an amazing medley of alarm tones, and kept going off at regular intervals until midnight. Luckily it then shut up. Next morning we had a proper fry-up breakfast shoulder to shoulder with holidaymakers in the tiny dining room then hit the road. Two days off, then Hull beckons…
Cheers
Graeme
