XTC uber fan, Ged Lynn learning the chords for Making Plans for Nigel. In typical Liverpool style, the wedding band learned the song to play it as a surprise at Ged & Bev’s wedding. This, with view that Ged would get up to play it. Then they realised they had to make sure he knew the words and chords. Someone had to tell him, thus spoiling the surprise, sort of. However, he did know the words (and does for pretty much EVERYTHING by XTC), but admittedly had to resort to the music book he bought in Rushworth’s (RIP), c1980.

The book is lovely. Great cover and photos, as well as music printed in deep red ink, reminiscent of Gestetner printed school hymn sheets.
