Unusual combinations on the stage with us tonight. Our guitarist's lovely wife Sophie has been learning to play the bass, and replaced my brother Jay for a couple of songs. For a début performance she did ever so well. And husband and wife worked well together.
Actually, by any standard she did brilliantly.
For her second song, Matt's brother Mark and his nephew Samuel also joined us on stage with their guitars. The gig was, after all, a birthday party for Samuel's mum, so a perfect venue for their own début.
So the drummer Jake and I were for a couple of songs hugely outnumbered by Popes. father and son, uncle and nephew, husband and wife.
I don't know how old young Samuel is; his Uncle Matt tells me he's about 7. But he wasn't the youngest on stage tonight. Matt and Sophie are expecting their first child, so "Bump", against whom was balanced mum's bass guitar so you can't say he didn't have an active part, had the privilege of being the youngest, at -20 weeks.
