Hi Chris… Went to the Leeds gig the other night and it was brilliant….as usual!…. though Lee was sorely missed as was Bedders …. On the subject of Bedders have I missed something? He wasn’t at the gig and I notice he wasn’t pictured in the programme? He hasn’t left has he? …. I’d like to think I know what you guys are upto but this one has slipped thru my maddie net! ps I was the dopey one right at the front at Leeds last night … and I caught Suggs hat !!!! though there were a few grey hairs in it….hope theyre not mine!

Dear Matt
Bedders left over a year ago. The door is always half open etc..I’ve done it myself for a couple of years. Left the band, that is. It’s quite hard sometime to be in the band full time. He has another career too. Grey hairs? The ever youthful Suggs? I haven’t noticed any..
thanks CB
