The La Tania connection in the 2008 Round Britain Race won it’s class with a superb final leg, leap frogging rival Silverline and finishing 30th overall, going hard all the way…. Well done lads!

Mon The Fratellis! Haven’t found Chaz White yet…..
From the Race Site: “A crew of Watford based taxi drivers who were considered rank outsiders when they entered the race are now contenders for their class prize in the 2008 Round Britain Race. The performance of skipper Barry Deakin on the opening leg between Portsmouth and Plymouth on Saturday confounded the pundits but this was no fluke. After having to transport their boat overland to Milford Haven when high seas forced the second leg to be abandoned, they repeated the performance on Monday by using navigational tactics.
What do you do in the Summer? Is an often asked phrase out here… Follow the Watford La Tania connection (plus Phil of Snowbound Transfers is driving the support vehicle) race around the UK in their boat “The Bandit”. Start should be on TV tomorrow, also see The Bandit Website and the race website at www.roundbritainrace.co.uk. Good Luck Lads!!!
Keith Allen (Lillys Dad of Vindaloo and Sheriff of Nottingham fame) leads his band Grow Up at the Lynton Music Festival on Saturday. Great mix of bands, drinks, food and atmosphere. And free to get in….
Just near the top of the bubble, still more higher up of course…
Not much – The cows are back in town, weather is rainy like it has been for 3 weeks, a worker fell off the roof at Saboia, the Chrome bar is open and Katie’s (ex-Bubble Bar) new restaurant in 1650 is open.
The opening date for Pub Le Ski Lodge in La Tania is set for the evening of Friday 4th July. Meanwhile over in Meribel Village the opening date for Lodge du Village (aka LdV) is possibly 12th July.
Searching for some La Tania related material and then you find this….
George Hutchison who used to play in Shibboleth – who’ve played Winter seasons in La Tania forever – in a music video hugging Catherine Zeta Jones. What’s all that about then eh?
Think George is now back with the excellent (and by far the best) Abba tribute band Bjorn Again and gigging with them once more – they’ve some summer shows lined up in the UK and it’s a great night out – 70’s dressing up obligatory of course. No news on what Shibboleth will be up to next season though – rumours of a different resort entirely maybe. Graham and a few of the lads are still playing around Munich and Colin tour guiding in Scotland I guess… All the Alps Live Music info here
