Hi Figsters

The Fig traveled up to Glen Elg for Amplifico’s Highland Safari in August. The Fig Brothers were pretty well lubricated by the time we got to play – but we had a blast. Donna ‘Fico had misplaced her voice, so we Figged a little longer than expected. A shame we didn’t get to hear Amplifico. Till Lassmann came over from Hamburg just to sketch the Fig in action (well, perhaps not). Here’s a sample of his doodles.

Thanks for the images Till, they’ll be put to good use!

We had to rush back to Edinburgh the very next day before Keith Fig turned into a gherkin, so we sadly missed the rest of the Highland Tour (next year eh?!). Our figgin’ roady (Johnnie “the” Pilot) though had other ideas and dumped us at a disused petrol station and screeched off in his little Deuce Coup with all our hard played for earnings (errr…there weren’t any, of course, but JP didn’t know that).

Thankfully, Mary McCartney was drivin’ past and spotted us. Sensing a once in a life time photo opportunity, she pulled over and started shooting. She told us to stop tryin to phone her Dad and then screeched off in her Alegro. Thoughtfully though, she tossed her memory card out of her window as she sped off and we were able to salvage this one snap. Thanks Mary.

Okay. We have a couple of gigs coming up in November (info will be posted here soon). Other than that we are gonna focus on getting the CD out before the end of 2007. So watch this space for news.

Keep on Figgin’
