"So you want a revolution..." as the song goes.

A revolution can be defined as one complete turn around an axis where the position commenced fron and ended is the same.

And here were are, back in the 1980s, before buses were degregulated ending in the mess they're in today. The 1980s holds a lot of memories for me, new to the circuit and coming into my prime as a performer. It was a lot easier to get around by bus then too. Being both greedy and ambitious, I could perform two turns on a Saturday night and travel by bus. I could perform at an old-dear's 70th in Sacriston before jumping on the 531 to do a quick turn at the Miners Welfare Club in Westoe, or do the same with a gig in Seaham and a turn at the Cannon in Low Fell.

I hope these government changes mean the new breed of performer has the same opportunities as me when starting out.
