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.
