There were some English and Scottish club gigs, and festival appearances included Towersey (with a six or seven piece outfit), Broadstairs and Fylde, where the photograph above\u00a0was taken by Roger Liptrot. There was also a visit to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with two of Dave&#8217;s shows, Blake&#8217;s <em>Songs of Innocence and Experience<\/em> and a maritime suite called <em>Bound to go Sailing<\/em>.
