The only review that exists is this one..
"Then across the road for an PROPERLY original set from Bristol's OLO Worms at Legends - I imagine "the" nightclub in Anst'er! Really, really original - I can't be more unoriginal in emphasising the originality of their tunes and accompanying projected film - find them out and make them perform for you." - Bhone Website

Our acoustic set on the Monday night was kinda fun. We didn't really know what was gonna happen so didn't really plan anything. Mark and i were'nt sure if we were gonna do anything at all but in the end we thought why not? Mark tapped out beat on something, and i played with a large lampshade. I tried to do a little Lil' Wayne rap (at the end of the 'Waist Band' chat) but soon found out that i really can't rap. Gareth and Matt started off a bit..ermm...off, but soon found their way. I really liked hearing 'Germs Stand Up' again. We seemed to go down well with the rest of the Fence gang and friends. After everyone had finished playing we moved/broke the tables and had a dance.

Yeah!! I know what i'll do now! BULLET POINTS! They always work well and that means i don't need to worry about my writing style, not that i have one. Ok! I'm gonna shoot you down with my blog bullets. Here are most of my (can't remember them all) Homegame 6 memories!..
* The 'party house' and all the house parties.
* Finding myself most mornings slumped in a akward position in the 'party house'.
* The feeling after making myself throw up just before our set. I was a new man!
* Getting married to Rebecca Slow Club with Pictish Trail playing the vicar, then going to the beach with rum hipflasks for our honeymoon.
* Bhoywonder (in general). Always makes me smile. Soo many funny poses.
* My 'gay baker' / 'gay sailor' outfit for our set.
* Watching the crowd from the balcony bounce to Pictish Trail's 'Winter Home Disco'
* Jamie Ashley's cooking.
* The look on the Blonde girl's face who was drinking my drink after our set.
* Fudgedonut's wooping during our set.
* The 'new' 'wild' Gareth (he's back to normal now).
* Sunday night's dance off! pulling down my trousers to a crowd of people who thought it quite funny rather than being disgusted.
* James Yorkston's tipexed eyes.
* John Maclean's 'greatest songs ever' DJ set. Going mental and knocking over drinks when he played 'A Milli'.

* Meeting Vashti Bunyan.
* Lone Pigeon getting bluetack stuck in my hair then cutting it out.
* Surprized by the amount of 'special sweets' there were on offer.

* Fish & Chips, Ice Cream, and booze (obv).
* Being invited on board the BBC bus to play and be filmed with King Creosote, his daughter, Rozi Plain, and the woman from The Delgardos. Obviously i could'nt do anything so i just stood behind the camera whistling from time to time.
* The sausage roll van!
* Running into the rain.
* The sun! Being on a beach with sunshine.
* Being cheeky to people.
* The beef gang who were great all week.

Below are G.Jones' HG6 memories..
I think this is most of them (in vague day order):
* Rose Canaveral and Pigeonhair's arm wrestling - which attracted a good crowd of locals who laughed heartily at james's struggle.
* KATOPAZ/TAKE A BREAK
* Going for a walk to Crail on Friday for a coffee, getting within 500yds and accidentally walking into a bog, meaning a shameful/soggy traipse back. City Slicker.
* No phone/Internet - brilliant
* Hall Confusion
* Helping mama casino on the bar.
* Friday night's stewarding - 'escorting' a local from the Hew Scott. Where's your wristband?
* Co-forcing a party on the party house - they had no idea, poor things.
* Being too 'refreshed' from Friday to get through Bhoywonder's set, fluffing some huge notes before giving up entirely. Jonny gave me a deserved kick up the ass.
* John Amino's set - AMAZING!
* James Yorkston 'making eyes' at a female folk singer
* The guy in Legends who saw me struggling with the worst/crackliest bass head in Scotland whilst we were setting up and volunteered his Ashdown one, that he happened to have in his boot. A genuine LEGEND.
* SWEAT.
* Watching the sound guy going to the loo during our set.
* Helping run Ben's Bakery concession after playing, for about an hour.
* Pints with straws.
* Late-night sing-along at the Hew Scott.
* The 'off the ball' incident with Dom.
* Dom requesting a cross-field pass from Pigeonhair by yelling 'TWITTER IT!'
* Promising Pigeonhair that if we were on opposite teams during Beefball, I'd kick him, then within 30 secs of changing sides getting the chance to clatter him in a perfectly legal 50/50, the moaning lasted till Tuesday.
* Wandering around Anstruther in full Southampton kit (with sweatbands) trying to get a key back into our flat.
* Stewarding the 'secret gigs' - JY & Athletes were amazing, a lot of love in the room.
* JEAN SCENE - i've bought an ipod touch (they're not £100 John)
* Tea and Scones
* ICHI! BEST SHOW! PING PONG!
* Giving Rachel Dadd a piggyback during KC's set.
* John Amino's heckling.

* The Ceidleh dancing, never have simple instructions been so confusing.
* Beach Boys/Beastie Boys/Beatles
* Stomping/Screeching/Conga/Clapping

* Amazing roast dinner (thanks Jamie!)/POP!/ladettes to ladies/being called an 'ignorant f*** by a potty-mouthed friend.
* Golf at St. Andrews
* Classic Ice-Cream
* Potato and Bean/Cheese Pie
