new arrival

Hi y'all
Just wanted y'all to be the first to know that Judith had a beautiful baby boy last Thursday afternoon. Everything went well and mother and son are doing fine and back home making the world a safer place for me. His name is Oscar and like his father he is tall, lean and extraordinarily handsome.

The tour seems to be going well. It sounds like Chris is doing an incredible job bringing something special to the role and allowing Dave Parsons to beat him at Fifa 2002. Something I had to do for years.

I've got to say it feels strange being here and reading about the gigs but now I'm thinking about our German shows in May which will, I think be my first shows back unless anything else is slotted in before. I've just got to figure a way to see Neil Young who plays the night after us! It's nice to have the shows to look forward to but until then it's the family life and even less sleep than on tour.

R.I.P. Spike Milligan.
Take care
Nigel xx
