| 1982 | Dec 26th | MARK WRITES: |
| "Hi, hi, hi - it's boxing day 1982 and well we've all had a great time and .... | ||
| wow, presents and monopoly yeah, yeah, yeah.....and let me see, John's in the | ||
| bathroom, wow! - and now we're going to Ian and then Noel's place yeah...." | ||
| 1983 | Jan 29th | For heaven's sake we [Mark, Noel and Ian] play our fourth gig as The Last Word. |
| July 9th | It's been a long time since this diary has been written in... | |
| A lot has happened - | ||
| John has joined Division 4 and we wish him luck - | ||
| The Last Word has ceased to exist and Mark, Noel and Ian have become | ||
| The Reasons Why and have played about eleven gigs - we have even been offered | ||
| hope but from our experiences we know that we will not get anywhere - things | ||
| are so bad that even David is interested! | ||
| 1984 | Nov 24th | It's been a long time! "yes" said the magic pumpkin....... |
| Well, the demo we did during 1983 was disappointing however, with the start | ||
| of 1984, we played at the likes of Sonia's and the Vulcan Hotel and we now have a new | ||
| member.....what's his name?........... ah yes, James! You know he plays and sings | ||
| (but not in this band), he also writes originals (but not in this band). But he | ||
| contributes in other ways and is a good luck charm. | ||
| We've been recording at EMI with a world mega-star producer, hitmaker and | ||
| all round demi-god John B!! | ||
| [It should be noted that at this point the diary ceased to be written in, until........] | ||
| 1991 | Sep 15th | Amazing though it may seem, these are the continuing adventures of John, Mark, |
| Noel and Ian as they continue their treacherous foray into the cut-throat music | ||
| business......... | ||
| A drunken, high-spirited afternoon early in 1990 led to the suggestion of a reunion | ||
| in the air. Actually, nothing was mentioned until late on that day when someone said, | ||
| " So, are we gonna get back together or what?" | ||
| Now, over fifteen months later, we've played two gigs - if only we'd started writing | ||
| this again earlier!! | ||
| [EDITOR'S NOTE: As no-one bothered to mention in the diary at the time, this reformed | ||
| Clones line-up was called The Groovediggers who went on to play six shows altogether | ||
| before disbanding yet again] | ||
| .........and that, dear readers, is all that was written in The Clones diary | ||
| THE END!! | ||
