Wish you were here

We are pleased to hear that our fan-base has indeed grown since we began this journey to bring you "the old stuff".

Here’s an email we received today from Nigeria:

“My Beloved,

Greetings: I am sorry to intrude into your private and peaceful life, all the same my name is Mr John Luke. I work as an accountant in a bank in Nigeria, I contacted you to work together with me in claiming my late client's estate. Unfortunately he died without a registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary status. You could be made the beneficiary since you share the same last name with him.

This has officially transferred the right to you, as no other person from his family knows anything about this fund with our bank. If you are interested in working with me, please get back to me as quickly as possible, so that I can give you the details of what we are to do. I wait for your prompt response so that I can give you more briefing of what you need to do and how to do it.

I have enclosed a photograph of myself to help you recognise me when we do meet eventually, I’m sure. Perhaps in Lagos, where my in-laws have a beautiful house by the well.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation,
Mr John Luke

Ok. We lie. We added in that bit about the photo. And the house. The photo isn’t real either. As is John, we’re quite sure.

In any case, get your dose of the real stuff tonight at Tuck Shop, from 8.30 pm. Quiet Set tomorrow.
