I have looked at the gargantuan task facing me to catch up with my fabled TOURLOG, and realised it is in fact big jobs. I have therefore decided to give up 2 of my biggest vices, namely masturbation and cigarettes. It is going to be tough, as I am a 20 a day man, and I smoke like a chimney as well.
Before I start, however, I'd like to say some things about David Walker, who as I'm sure you know died suddenly on August 30th. A top bloke, who really cared personally for our well being, and that of our families above all else. It's not many bands that can say that about their manager. The more I find out about him, the more I respect him. Not always the easiest of people, it was only his passion for Quo that sometimes led to arguments about the best way forward. He always had to think of an angle, as basically we had been consigned to the "where are they now?" file by certain sections of the music business, and, whilst his ideas may not at times have been particularly "credible", they certainly kept us in the public eye. He is irreplaceable as far as we're concerned, so it's onwards and sideways or upwards, we'll give it our best shot for David, I know he would have copped the needle if we didn't. A few laughs, albeit about such a sad event... RP Parfitt, guitarist of this parish said that David would have been sooooo pissed off he was dead, he had meetings and deals just about to come to fruition, it would have been the biggest ever pork (pork chop-cop in Quoese). At the funeral, there were so many people there they couldn't all get into the building...Jim Davidson pointed out that he could have done 2 shows, and Neil Warnock our agent, was heard saying that David would have given him a bollocking for booking him into too small a venue!! As Mr. Walker was so into charity, and we should keep up the good work in his name, I, JV Edwards have come up with a bon idée. Pretentious, moi? At the end of this tour, the highest bidder can get the stage shirt of each member of the band, as worn on most, if not every show, signed, and authenticated. You can also have it washed or sweaty, come and get it, girls!.... You also don't have to be at a show to collect as we'll even mail it to you, plus which, when you make a bid, specify the charity you'd like the money to go to, the most deserving one in our book will benefit. Now come on, this is net only, don't be shy, be the envy of your friends and neighbours when you walk in the pub sporting your idol's shirt, you know it makes sense... email all bids to (bids are closed)  Before I summon my reserves of energy (asking everyone on the tour what happened on the shows I haven't reported yet), I should let you know I have a NEW LAPTOP!!! It's great being a rock star, people rush to give you things, and those very nice people at DELL have given me a new computer. All I had to do was pay them £1107.45p, and hey presto, there it was. You wouldn't understand, you mere mortals. If you wanted the same thing, you'd have to pay £1107.45p. Hey, shome mishtake, shurely?? Anyway... Mr Gert Ohlsson has given me a list of the shows I've not reported on, so here goes... Mannheim...can't remember. Rest of German tour... did we do one? That's that then, see, what a memory. (Yeah, what a memory). Actually I do remember the last gig, in Ingolstadt. It was a really weird bill, loads of kid bands, Lionel Ritchie and us. Talk about bizarre, playing to an audience of about 10 to 15 year olds. Their faces ranged from disbelief, to boredom, and 'cor that bass player's a sexy martherfarker. I don't know what the girls thought… But there was a hell of a lot of them, about 70,000 I think. We equalized in the 89th minute through a late Rossi penalty.
