No - I was going to the bar to get some drinks. She attempted to block my path!

You may be thinking , " if Mike wasn't a fan why was he there?" I'd gone to see the main act of that night. Can't rememeber who - possibly Mark Steel? Skint Video?, Arthur Smith?... and Jenny Eclair just happened to be one of the other acts on the bill.
