Well comrades, I know we’ve been a little slow in reporting back on recent PROD events but, in consideration of Comrade Dubversion’s condition we’ve had other things on our minds. The happy news is he is back in London and should hopefully soon have the work required to fix him up. He’s also got hold of his X-rays so maybe we’ll get one of them up so you can all suck in through yer teeth and go “ooooh, that does look nasty”. and resolve to buy him beer or Rum. or vodka – he’s not that fussy.
We can’t pretend we didn’t miss him and Marmosette but we’d like to thank everyone who helped in making The Magnificent Seventh go off so well and PROD’s return to it’s birthplace The Windmill so fun – Comrade Kanda who wholeheartedly embraced the role of deck prole proving himself truly up to the task by playing the wrong side of Comrade Snoddy’s single and then turning it over only to play it at the wrong speed. That, you have to admit, is the stuff. Not to mention the curious and deplorable, but nonetheless amusing rickrolling incident. Comrade Shelley’s help in the cloakroom and Cribbage’s elsewhere which somehow avoided further injury, Comrade Bee’s marvellous, fund raisingly delicious cakes and incomparable sharps bucket shaking from Comrade Tanky – Between us all we’ve raised a decent amount toward helping out our stricken comrade and our stricken comrades’ van. Most of all perhaps we should thank the wonderful Morton Valence, who played a great set, for free bless ‘em. Look out for the album later in the year – here’s the great video for their new single, Falling Down The Stairs. Which, we all agreed, was at least not called falling off a ladder.
more news on Comrades Dubversion’s recovery, the word on PROD Cymru and more Magnificent 7’s coming soon.
As many of you may have already heard through underground channels of communication, Comrade Dubversion lies stricken and immobile on a hillside in north Wales following last weekend’s PROD uprising in Derwenlas. Where he was cruelly laid low by a combination of gravity and misfortune. He has a broken knee but is in good care and I’m sure you would all join with us in wishing for his speedy recovery and return, updates on his condition as we receive them.
This tragedy aside the first Welsh PROD was a great success, more of which later………….
Also, this weekend’s PROD at The Windmill is still going ahead with help from other loyal comrades, hopefully we will be able to raise some money to assist he and comrade Marmosette in their time of need.
