About 3 years ago, a friend and I had a few days off work. We heard that
Gil was playing at the Melkweg, so we went to Amsterdam especially.
Anyway, we turned up on the night - but he didn't. I've since found out
that he's renowned for this. I went to see him in Cambridge and he never
turned up there either! Maybe I'll get to see him one day.
