MUM'S NOT THE WORD: Flowers and chocolates will have to do, because a Rapiers date won't. The 2 March Mothering Day show at the Hub in Verwood is off, cancelled, reason unknown, a victim of the topsy turvy world of bookings... QUOTE OF CENTURY: That's what Colin Pryce-Jones called a recent fan comment: "Somebody came up and said to Neil or Nathan, 'Gosh, I didn't know The Shadows were called The Rapiers before they were called The Shadows!'" Um, send that fellow back to class... MADE IN SPAIN: "Our Valencia gig was fantastic," relays Colin, despite a chaotic start hours earlier during check-in at London Stansted Airport. A squabble over checking suitbags (payment required, please) saw our lads minutes away from missing their Ryanair flight. Meanwhile, that fetching Rapiers tattoo spotted by Nathan belongs to lead guitarist Sergio "Norton" Joven with Spain's rockin' Vibrants combo, who opened for The Rapiers at Surforama. BTW: Dig The Vibrants' Que bueno! home page with beatnik-cool animation galore (per image at left).
