TFC had to postpone the 'till our fingers bleed' gig at The Fountain Inn, Laugharne due to illnesses within the entourage.
With talk of a century of songs chloroseptic Phil was initially full of the xmas spirit until the dreaded man flu hit. 'Top of the bill' Phil out, Uncle Lyndons' proclamation to the awaiting press, 'sorry mate, I had the start of a cold Friday and its shifted gears on me last nite, result = no voice, hence can't help', the plug was pulled - the 'till our fingers bleed' gig was off!
So it was left to a fat uke player and a wookie of a mandolin stroker to fight the good fight on behalf of the charity and the good name of 'The Two Fat Cyclists'.
Using Brian Eno as a driving force, 'One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.'
'I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor.'

Decisions were taken and it was thought best not to stray too close to the lager-fuelled rugby club. So the wookie went north and the fat uke player drew the curtains and hid.
In the words of the great Brian Eno I leave you with these thoughts,
'I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor.'
And as the great Keith Richards said:
'If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.'
