The sounds of silence

Merle Knurling. Also known as Pat Shanks, head honcho of The Glads and (as the name might suggest) once of the The Knurlings. He was assisted at this performance by some very robust drumming by John Sproull (a.k.a. The Silent K), also of run.stop.restore. It was a pseudonymous good time at ye olde Manx.

Merle likes his women strong as a wood bison.



John forsakes the usual stool for a comfy couch.



Some not-so-Silent K action.



And note the handy drinks holder. Is the a professional operation, or what?

• Show reminder: The Flaps play The Manx tonight. Could be a tight fit.
