Hi

Do we know how many words they'd like? 

I know there's a big history of Mayday and I don't want to misrepresent
the 1in12 club as some kind of dominating influence... but all the info I
have relates to that fine institution, even though I know it's only part of
the story.

I remember playing in Centenary square in (I think) 1996 at an event which
appeared to have been mostly organised by the 1in12. I think they all went
to Barcelona in 1997, and then lost the club's shirt on an expensive gig in
1998 which was the last huge event the club organised. But don't quote me
on the "losing shirt.." bit as I know it was a bit traumatic for some
people.

Some links might blob out as the whole site had to be migrated inexpertly
off Legend when they flaked.
