Think Floyd

January 13th, 2006 · Comments Off on Think Floyd · Music

Jayne is good to me – she came with me to see Think Floyd at the Hawth tonight, even though she really does not like Pink Floyd. At Live 8 she would happily have gone home after seeing Robbie Williams and skipped Floyd and the Who (but only over my dead body!) but while we […]

Crawley Mela
