hello friends and fellow members of the pastry appreciation society,its been a while since my last entry pardon the expression if you will! anyway ive got my internet up and running again so blogs will be appearing regularly from now on (not!!) right so whats been happening in my band life latley? well ive been to a couple of top gigs over the last couple of weeks the first one was a trip to wembley stadium (awsome stadium by the way) to see the foo fighters with mal,i was a bit dissapointed overall as we had crappy seats right at the back plus it cost £15 for two 'effin hot dogs! it was either that or the pie & pint deal which was £8! what a rip off.anyway mal and i decided to leave the gig before the encore so we could beat the crowds to the tube station and get back into central london for a couple of beers before closing,so you can imagine our dismay the next morning when one of mal's ex work mates who was at the gig text him to see what we thought when led zep joined the foos on stage for t ...

hello everyone,thought it was about time i got my lazy portly arse into gear and wrote something on this blog page!!.might as well get straight onto all things koncept we've got a busy weekend this weekend gigs wise,tonight (saturday) we are playing the grand hotel in bishop auckland,its our first time on there and we cant wait to play it as it is one of the top venues in the north east.last night it was a hefty ride out to redcar to play the cleveland hotel,its always worth the ride out to play this venue,they make a real effort to advertise and promote your gig there and the atmosphere is alwys top notch,anyway i think the forces of evil were doing there best to ruin last nights gig! first of all i get a phone call friday tea time to say gibbo has shunted some girl up the back end,and i dont mean that he had got an instant sun tan on his pink pylon!! i mean a car crash,apparantly some female driver decided to hammer on the brakes cos she had seen her mate in the street and decided she wanted to talk to her ...

it was malcolm's stag do on saturday so we went through to durham and had a damn good go at drinking the city dry.we were supposed to be going to leeds for the day but mal's hired friends had all decided they had got a better offer from somewhere else (yorkshire pussy's) anyway thats why we ended up in durham,a good day was had by all and as the drink was flowing mal came out with a comment that is surely quote of the week,when i asked mal if his dad would be joining us for the merryment mal told me that,and i quote "im really pleased my dad is coming out tonight" shock horror who would have thought it mals burly,bearded,bald father a loin muncher! of course he isnt really that way inclined but we took the piss out of mal for a good half hour over that comment,which has to be quote of the week. anyway on band matters koncept are back on the road this week after a two week break for waynes jollies,by all accounts he's enjoyed looking at "them triangle houses" in egypt. anyway we are on at t ...

a pretty busy weekend for the band this weekend just gone,saturday night we were at the shoe in crook and as gibbo has already pointed out we were under a little bit of pressure as the gig was been recorded but as always at the shoe the atmosphere was great and i think we put on a pretty good show,in fact dave who was doing the recording said we were up there with the best bands he had ever recorded! praise like that from a guy who obviousley knows his stuff means a hell of a lot to us. cant wait to hear the finished cd. must mention the light show to,as i had already finished setting my drums up i sat back and watched the hired lighting crew put up a lighting rig that wouldn't have looked out of place at a pink floyd gig,but fair play they looked absolutley spot on when the gig started. so on to sunday at the vane arms,i never know what to make of this place when we play there sometimes its chocka bloc and everyone's into it then sometimes its pretty quiet and no one seems that bothered about a band playing, ...

at last i have a new job i have finally escaped from my old job which was just so shitty for the last few months,been there for nearly 11 years and have had some good times and made some good mates which does surprise me (people who know darlington folk will know what i mean by that!). anyway me new job is working for balfour beatty and basically im going to be driving round the north east dropping barriers and road signs off for the lads who will be digging the roads up,then going back to pick them up when they are done,may sound boring to you put its a substantial rise in wages from me old job & i get me own van (bonus) just come back from a three day induction course in rugby ( mal gets to go to the u.s.a. for a course i get to go to rugby!) mal said in his blog he thought rugby was a shit hole but it must have changed a bit since he was there cos i thought it was a canny nice place and i had a couple of decent nights out too! anyway on to all things koncept,we had our first gig for a month or so last ...

this is my first go at doing this,i haven't bothered before because in truth nothing very exciting really happens in my life (apart from that time the mince pies in asda were buy one get one free!) anyway just got back from ibiza yesterday had a great weeks relaxing holiday with the missus and my little'un obviously i am now looking like a bronzed god (not) anyway our lass did say to me,and i quote "fat looks better suntanned" hows that for a put down!! anyway looking forward to getting together with the lads this week for practice,we've got a song to learn for a wedding we're doing next month (never tear us apart by inxs)actually dont think wayne will be at practice cos he's on nights,so at least me and gibbo wont have to listen to him and mal arguing about who has the best set up!! (personally cant wait to hear wayne's new amp - no offence mal,i think your little amp sounds great!) anyway must go its breakfast time so time for egg,bacon,sausage & MINCE PIE,with plenty of gravy of course
