Throughout his current U.K. tour, The Alarm’s Mike Peters has been performing solo-acoustic sets, taking requests from fans for old, rarely played songs — requests he’s been able to grant with the help of a book of lyrics to 30 years’ worth of Alarm songs.
Saturday night, however, following a gig at the Marrs Bar in Worcester, Peters discovered someone had walked off with his lyric book. And he wants it back: “Mike has been using this book extensively… to play lesser-known songs requested by fans,” according to a post on the Alarm’s site.
Anyone with knowledge of the book’s whereabouts is asked to e-mail alarmcalling@mac.com… or just mail it to Alarm Information Service. P.O. Box 709, Prestatyn, Denbighshire, LL19 9YR, Wales, UK.

PREVIOUSLY ON SLICING UP EYEBALLS
This really sucks. Of all of the performers from this era out there, this man adores his fans the most. He gives and gives and gives. That someone would do this is really crappy.
Was thinking of going to see him Friday. Does this mean that there will be lots of instrumentals?
