I've been away for a week and a few kind folk have taken the trouble to get in touch having tracked me down via various social media, so I'll answer a couple of questions:
Q: "Are you a Smiths fan?"
A: Not in the way you are, I'm certain. I'm a fan of music and particularly vinyl versions of it. People who come to my show invariably know as much or more about specific album info than I. And that's how it should be. I like to learn stuff at a show as much as dole out the facts and trivia. I do a lot of research but misprints on album sleeves are a level or two of fandom above me.
Q: "How many tickets are available?"
A: About 35 now...
Q: "Do you 'tour' The Vinyl Frontier?"
A: I haven't but I would certainly come to your event/festival/convention if requested.
A week today: Hatful of Hollow in full vinyl beauty, Norden Farm Arts Centre, Maidenhead, Berkshire. £6 a person. All ages welcome (swearing at a minimum).
