Technophobes have broken up. After a rubbishy couple of last months, with losing Ross, and not making enough progress or impact, we've decided to call it a day.

We didn't get though to tne next Emergenza round from the audience votes, as according to a phonecall I've just got from the organiser person, people didn't 'get' us. However, we've been offered a place in the next round anyway, because the organisers liked us.

Billy, I'm stealing your job! We played in St. Pats in Greenock earlier this evening. It was good, there was a good crowd. Firebrand_boy and Redword were good also. Ross, ever the unreliable, did not play so we played as a 3-piece.
The set was:
