The bleak midwinter. Flew in day before gig. As the plane descended the pilot pulls up last minute, and announces runway too icy. Lands about 2 hours halfway accross Germany. 3 hour bus ride later, and mid morning walk we find hotel. Next morning - gig day. January, Sub zero and we queue outside Dusseldorf H&M to buy hats and jumpers to stay warmer for rest of day and feast on sausage and mash for hot lunch. Do Dusseldorf's sites and then bars. Get to venue, Pretty Vacant, and say we are on guest list. Confused looks and language problems, and Spearmint Neil steps in with fabulous welcome and ushers us down to a great night. (Topped off by Shirley "shhhushh"-ing the overzealous ecstatic Scots mid gig) One of the greatest weekends in my life. As you say - no more guest list journos, but this guest list welcome just topped off a big effort to make the gig, and is appreciated to this day. Guest Lists My Speamint Story:
