Hi,

>You weren't that bloke in "This Is Spinal Tap", were you?
The one who, in his younger days, used a cricket bat as a negotiating tool?
Nah. I was a nice guy<g>

A friend once admitted that he played the part of the band drummer in one of the 1960's snips - but he was so heavily disguised that even re-watching it I didn't recognise him.

>Is the term "shed" really used in the U.S.? I have never been involved in the business side of rock tours but have been to lots of shows and have never heard the term used in that context.

It certainly seemed to be the generic term within the business. Perhaps it wasn't in common usage otherwise...

Regards,
Viv
