Another excellent afternoon with nearly every available Kink on the stage at some point. Plus we had The Oslo Brass  once again enhancing the musical proceedings. Mark Haley did a short warm up set. I was selling raffle tickets at the time, so wasn’t able to watch, which was a shame.  He’s a real charmer  

The set included the winner in the KOKs Facebook page poll for a new song for the KOKs to play, 20th Century Man. Also Baby Face (It was so excellent in Holland that some of us had been shouting for a reprise during the afternoon) and Mr Pleasant (a new song for Mick to sing, and wearing a posh hat!)

Ray made a brief appearance, despite having flu. He had been sitting backstage enjoying several of the numbers before speaking to the enthralled throng. It was jolly good of him to leave his sick bed and come along to see us.
