I think we’ve solved the mystery now. He answers to the name of Keith.’ </p> <p>Peter said that although the band were in reasonable condition considering their age, they were getting a bit fragile and crumbly. ‘They’re talking about re-forming for one last anniversary gig but I’d say the chances of reassembling them in working order are no better than fifty-fifty.’</p> <p>The discovery has settled a long running argument about whether there was anything deep under the sofa. Despite the discovery of a few new sets of lyrics for a planned album, the answer remains a firm ‘no.’ </p> <p>Sharon says the band have been no trouble at all and make very little noise. ‘The singer gave me a bit of a shock when he said, “Let’s spend the night together,” but then he said he only meant “gimme shelter” and just wanted to lie on the sofa. I gave him a cup of cocoa with brown sugar and one of my mother’s little helpers, and now wild horses wouldn’t wake him up. </p>
