Just a head’s up that the Cabs are doing a gig at ICA in November with original member Chris Watson doing early material (75-90). Tix on sale on Friday. There’s a couple other gigs dotted around the country.
?
I cannot wait. Well assuming all you FFs don’t get ahead of me in the queue and snap up all the tickets.
?
Tickets on sale at 10.05am Friday. Definitely not 10.00am as you may see being publicised. Oh no.

Sad news to report: Chris Hopkins, bassist for Cambridge groups Your Dinner & 13th Chime and longtime Fallnetter, has departed (12 May) for better shores following a short battle with bone cancer. He played his last gig with 13th Chime at the Portland Arms on 13 April 2025.?

Oh man, not Doc Chop! Incredibly sad news. I had the honor of being his houseguest briefly on my one transatlantic journey to the British isles 20+ years ago. Is Jenny still here? Thanks, Stefan, for reporting this.?
Rest in peace, good doctor.?

Very sad to hear. I'm glad we have his memories here on Fallnet.

This is my favorite pic of Chris Hopkins. We were in a pub in Cambridge, looking at a map of France in preparation for a cycling trip. The next pic is Chris somewhere south of St. Etienne, after applying all the sunscreen he felt was necessary. Better times. Godspeed, bicycle rider.

Trainspotters will point out that 13th Chime are originally from Haverhill in Suffolk, not Cambridge. Chris joined them late last year. Your Dinner was one of the two or three best local groups in the early 80s. RIP Chris.

Looks like it would have been, had I actually seen your reply at the time! As it is, I wound up just ordering a much less expensive cd copy from overseas, which still woulda been cheaper here. (And which just arrived in the mail today, which caused me to look through my emails again..) Oh well.??

Decoration Day: Dolly Parton & Lord Byron
Went to the Car Rental. Water was flowing. Saw Joni & MES sitting in separate aural trees, kissing through their respective discographies. Smooch Smooch. Lotsa Pharmaceuticals, Cheap Caffeine Coffee, & some smokes shared/exchanged plus an extra pint/two. Such Sweethearts!! Raise the Flags! And Gotta Add, Maybe It was just Another Bumriffic Oxford Plan.
