Tomorrow may prove a a tad stressful: Sgt. Peppers Only Dart Board Band have an appointment on the World Stage Ballroom at Madam Tussauds in London, to entertain at a function. Sounds quite grand, but the sheer logistics of getting van loads of gear into one of the biggest tourist attractions in London, when it is actually illegal to park in the bus lanes that surround the place, will be testing.The waxworks management insist that said clobber is loaded in up God knows how many flights of stairs, and demand that we are set and sound-checked in about one hour. It almost defies belief. Said management also insists on the contract being laundered through a London agent of their choice, who promptly adds on an extra £600 commission just for the price of a postage stamp. Anyway, when fully costumed, we shall, of course, keep moving, just in case theyre stocktaking. Mind you, I reckon compared to Madam Ts version of the Beatles, even we almost could pass for lookalikes.
