Re: Marc Bolan Plays too Many Gigs

["Carol Green" <carolgreen>]

I don't mind travelling to see Patti either. In fact i live near Newcastle 
and so it's best part of a 600 mile round trip to see her in London, but i 
know it will be worth it. I bought tickets for Oxford and Cambridge as well 
as they're all 'down south' from here and if I'm going to London i may as 
well stay down there a few more days and have a complete Patti binge! I 
haven't seen her since June when i went to Italy to see her at Misano so i'm 
really looking forward to October.
