The FabPicBros playing on The Pride of Bilbao in 1998 alongside Kenny Johnson and Northwind and Lazy Dog. We endured a force ten gale all the way, hence the seats on stage but with a massive intake of liquid refreshment we were able to fend off the worst of the sea sickness. Pete Major was on keyboards and Lenny Whitehead on Lead guitar, just prior to his move to the Cheap Seats. Dave Kinley was depping for Gary Thistlethwaite on this trip, and it stood him in good stead, because later he was invited to play with Northwind on the Oriana with Billy Jo Spears after Alan Crookes couldn't face the sea again, and shortly after joined the Picassos permanently. The song is Natural Born Lovers by Brady Seals, which is appropriate since my future wife was on this cruise, and although we didn't talk, we had spotted each other. Anyone feeling sick now?
