Thank you so much Dr Mango! Very fond of both HMHB and Lonnie so will be very pleased to hear this.

i believe the event was the Peel-curated Meltdown ...? i might be wrong. 

Thanks again,
thomas

Hi everyone.

Here's a 22 minute segment of the show from Thursday 7th October 1999, which featured live recordings by Lonnie Donegan and Half Man Half Biscuit, recorded the previous Friday (1st October) at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the Southbank. I can't remember the reason for the event, but I'm sure somebody can enlighten me. This is a recording of Half Man Half Biscuit's 7 songs, with Peel bookends. There's also the start of the next track in the programme after the live music, but this fades off. Note that the fade is on my original tape! I had no memory of recording this, so was pleasantly surprised to find it on an unmarked tape in my collection a little while ago. I do remember hearing Lonnie Donegan's set though, and being rather impressed. Naturally, I'm disappointed that I didn't record all / more of this show. What's galling now is to point out that I started recording at the beginning of the tape and promptly stopped after HMHB, when I could at least
 have left it running until side A ran out... So it goes.
