We have begun talking about what we do without Paul, it's a question we never anticipated having to consider.
We have some commitments over the summer which we will fulfill.
We are thinking along the lines of making our annual anniversary show a tribute to Paul and inviting friends with whom we've been associated over the last 14 years to come and join in.
Finding a suitable venue is
the next thing. Should it be a usual Bears knees up or should we hold the event in a theatre? If anyone has any thoughts on this let us know. It will be in November hopefully, but that will be dictated by the availability of the venue.
After that....well we'll take stock. There is something to be said for acknowledging that the Papa Bears without Paul is unimaginable and using the "15th anniversary/Paul tribute" as a grand finale. On the other hand we know that he
would be furious if he thought we were going to stop.
It's hearts v heads, heads saying it's right to go out with a big bash in the old boy's memory. Our hearts of course not wanting to stop because we all love
the band so much, as apparently do lots of other people.
So as time passes and the emotions subside we will make a considered decision, in the meantime thanks to everyone for their comments and support. We'll keep
you posted.
