wanted: one blue trilby. rewards offered!

Tour HQ needs your help!

After a few too many fizzy pops mixed with a lot of high spirits, Jont mislaid his blue trilby in Manchester. How this happened is shrouded in mystery, so we're offering a sassy Flip Video - just like the one Dave and Jont are using to record their antics on the road - as a reward to the person who finds the hat and returns it to its rightful owner.

If you know where Jont's hat is then we want to hear from you. Simply respond in the comment box below and we'll announce the winner at the end of the week. Genuine competition entries and anonymous tip-offs are all welcome so get commenting. And remember to enter a genuine email address we can contact you on, otherwise you won't be in with a chance to win!

And that's not the only giveaway: on the right you'll see the Have Your Say poll. We want you to tell us what kind of hat Jont should wear for Friday night's Birmingham Unlit gig.

By voting you will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a further chance to win a Flip Video. Again, the lucky winner will be announced at the end of the week.

So will it be the Tommy Cooper fez or the Sherlock Holmes deerstalker? Perhaps you think a top hat would make Jont look jaunty, or maybe you want to see him go Gallic with a beret... Whatever your choice we want to hear from you, so click that cursor over yonder and get voting now!

PS We like to do things properly here, so if you're a stickler for the details then here are our Terms and Conditions.

    I say Topper - there's just a hint of Bertie Wooster in there somewhere. Don't be ridic.

    I can't believe Jont lost his hat! He must be gutted I really hope he finds it soon again.
    Where did it happen? Any clues?

    Arundel - I am with you on the fez. That's where the Tour HQ vote went!

    Louise - we think it went missing in Manchester so if you know anything, enter the competition and get that hat back to Jont!

    Got to be a Deerstalker - they're a Holmes and Watson duet after all

    Clearly a Deerstalker. Clearly.

    Who wouldn't want to wear a deerstalker?

    my mate nicked that hat....I think....he said he'll catch up with you on the last date, after he's back from san jose

    Message from a milliner.
    What a creative way to get your hat back! I get most annoyed when people nick my hats or performers clothing. I made a wonderful lobster dress for a cat walk once and it crawled off into someones bag. Now adays I use my embroidery skills and sew my name and address into the lining of my hats.
    If you would like me to make you a hat of any discription. I will do over the weekend, in return for a flip video. Ideas welcome of what to make you. eg, guitar hat, orange hat, etc.
