Rock4four: Summertime special '09

6.1 Fox is watching the clocks

Unexpectedly, Fox called me this morning. "Yuji's in Osaka on business, and I really need somebody to give me ideas and feedback, 'cos it's the all day Ocean day party, the week after next, and quite frankly, I thought last weekend was not good. Can you come over?"

"Okay. can I bring Natalie?"

"Who? Oh, is that the girl I saw you with at the weekend? We haven't been formally introduced. Oh, okay, but I do need to get some work done".

"Fox, you'll really like her - she's from Brighton too. Listen, you seem a bit stressed - why don't I take us all for lunch in Chinatown first?"

Over lunch, I introduced Fox and Nat to each other, and they hit it off well, having discovered they have a few mutual acquaintances back home. Not that Brighton is so big, but the fact that they both know Steve, the landlord from the Apple and Albatross pub, you wouldn't have guessed, as they squealed in delight, because they both know him. Seriously, what are the odds?

On the plus side, Nat had cheered Fox up. She has a knack for it. "Why do they call you Fox?" she purred "Apart from the fact that you're a fox! rrrr he he"

"Aren't we here to talk about music?" I complained.

"Yes" agreed Fox. "We've got one more shot, this weekend, before the big all dayer, Monday week. I don't think Miki and terry are on the right tip. Any suggestions, for DJs this weekend?"

"Terry and Miki"

"Eh? Do what? Did you just hear what I said?"

"Yes, so you've got to pull them from the Ocean day line up. So soften the blow, by letting them DJ this weekend!"

Fox gaped. "Des, that's a BRILLIANT idea!"
