I saw Mark Thomas (and spoke to him) a few months ago at a benefit for the Orgreave Truth And Justice Campaign. He's still got the fire and the wit! There was also a band there that I should have known but didn't - Ferocious Dog - a folk-punk band that has been about for 12 years and fronted by an ex striking miner from Nottinghamshire! I am now a convert and a fan!
Mark Thomas did a wonderful gig about his dyslexic, East end builder Father who loved opera. Bravo Figaro it was called. It's about his dad dying as well. I'm not that emotional, but it got me, damn it!
