[> I don't post much (altho Often read this board)but felt it right to say that Aziz is a great bloke and apart from being part of Ian Brown's band and actually recording a tune with Paul (Middle Road) he surely didn't deserve such heckling?anyway hopefully catch up at some future gigs y'all -- Lordy Moose, 01:03:03 11/16/06 Thu
