The Hotel is "The Master Builder's House Hotel" located near Beaulieu but seem that the company that runned it and that John was involved in has ceased now.

I stayed there in  2002 for the MK  & Friends gig.

The Hotel I was talking about was in the Isle of Wight

Banjo, what a cool sighting for you.
I am glad MK can get out in public a bit without being bothered.
Would love to see your pictures.

Well, if you are in that area in holydays season, its probably very likely that you see MK there paying a visit to John  ;D

Hi, I was away for a couple of weeks, because I had so much to do in the last time, jobwise and private, but I read at Amit now and then.

This is mind-blowing! I would love to see your photos! I wish I would be there, too  ;) !

lovely attitude and agree with you with regards to not bothering MK. If I saw him I guess it would be great to speak to him but I certainly wouldnt push it. Hey Banjo good for you and hope you enjoyed your encounter. And it is a lovely pub not 25 mins away from us!!!;-)

Don't worry fletch, we also work. Not rich (at least I am not, don't know about others)
Just spend the money I earn. And take my free days from work to do so  :D

This year I call it my parttime sabbatical.
And I must say, easy to get used to it  ;D

I hear you Lis!! Don't worry, banjo is probably making the whole thing up, no evidence I reckon!! ;)

You and I should have coffee sometime, when are you free? I'm having dinner with Clapton next week, but any time after should be fine...
:)



.... Nice banjo, cool pics! :)
