Just letting those interested know the gig went pretty well.
I ended up buying a cough supressant form the chemist, I
forget the name but it looks like Fanta, anyway, i had no
actual coughing till the last 2 songs (10 song set), adn
managed to get through okay as the last 2 were mostly
harmonies from me anyway. Most people there didnt realise I
had any vocal trouble at all.

Cheers everyone
