According to Martin Ace, Micky is/was sadly (back) in hospital, so we did
indeed have George taking his place. And, I have to say, he's a very
talented lad. Deke's place has been taken by Ace's son (Josh, I think). This
was the first time I'd seen this line up of the band and was pleasantly
surprised by how good they were.
