The TUTS & EARTHBOUND - How It All Began

[Tj]

Not so happy about missing EB 2012, but you can't have everything etc.

And 2011 and 2010 and 2009 and 2008...

And, of course, being in the area of a EB gig, does not count, does it Alan!!!

And 2011 and 2010 and 2009 and 2008...  

Yep, but I'm not unhappy about it.   
2002, 2003, 2004... 2013?
We'll have to wait and see.

2013 is LUCKY for US.

Always great fun to look back on the photo's in this and other EARTHBOUND themes about 11 years of The TUTS & EARTHBOUND before an annual EARTHBOUND gig.

From The Verge (featuring Erik Russell) and Glastonwick 7 in Southwick (featuring Tim Cross and a TV duet with Richard Strange) in 2002 to the WE WHO WAIT show at The Hope in Carshallton in 2012. Every gig a real gem brightly sparkling in the mud.

Here's to TV & The TUTS and fondly celebrating the lives of Tim Cross and C5.

We've had so many wonderful times.

Shall we ever see the like again I wonder  :?:

This weekend, when preparing a cup of tea, I realised: this is TEN YEARS AGO now! 

Thankfully I still have my cup to remind me of it:

You bought a TV Smith souvenir cup?

















You mug!

You bought a TV Smith souvenir cup?

Yep, sleazy Klaus advertised them here in the forum before the event. They were cheap (but good quality, as you can see after 10 years it's still nice)!

Alright me old China! Don't rub it in!

Already three years ago now, when we had this nice building for EB 2013 in Augsburg (old gasworks buildings):

And a pic from the EB gig:



Must be one of my most "famous" pics, as it was featured in TV's last tour diary book (in b/w)!
