Having seen that the other three had done a blog (which is un heard of normally) I thought I'd best chip in with a little write up.
Funniest moment during setup was Wayne's face when mr DJ asked him to turn his guitar down a bit....PLI mate PLI!! divent throttle him until we're off the grounds!!! I could see the cartoon steam coming out of his ears! ha ha
I hear there's a few sketch shows wanting to re-create the Drawing room fart scene, unfortunately don't think Paul's hoop could cope with another precision timed blow out!! ha ha.....
Overall, the night went well. Good reaction to Blink and the rest as they say.....
Big thanks to Nigel and Charlotte and all the best for the future. Oh and thanks to Charlotte's dad...didn't see him on the night, hope he had a good day...
Hirris was evident on Friday, n it's been a while!! Plenty room on stage to move around, so I moved more than I do normall ...

Harley's Davison....not to be!! |

Well, bit of a surprise today....the Harley's gig is off....as if by chance I was on riffs and it had a band called "The Divide" listed to play on Sunday....so, I rang Gibbo, mid wagon reversing, he said he hadn't called the bar to confirm times. So I rang the Harleys, and they confirmed it was "The Divide" who are playing on Sunday and not us. Ho hum, you live and learn.
Back to more pressing matters, Friday night...emailed the admin address at Headlam Hall yesterday to find out what time we could arrive to setup...can't be soundchecking during the speeches like!! No reply as yet. I shall try another avenue of enquiry.
The moggie's got her killing streak back....she was doing the "gut wrenching noise" the other morning....which usually means, look at me I've caught summat, and she had...a mouse, saw her about 10 minutes later, she padded round the corner licking her lips....there'll be nothing left of the mouse then!!

The sight of them three huddled in a van going at 2mph is a one to behold....wonder if Paul removed Waynes snapped fingernails from the dash before he handed the keys back!! I can only imagine what Zach, Lisa and Shadrach got upto on the way to the gig.
Anyhows, just to re-iterate what Neil's put in his blog, the gig at the Black Lion in Richmond was class!! It had everything, even a low ceiling, small playing area and a partially deaf guitarist by the end cos the drummer wouldn't turn the volume down on his kit!! ha ha
I think the next band purchase will be a new pair of under kegs for Paul (to replace the ones he obviously dabbed after Neil gave him the fright of his life ;-).
For once I reckon Everlong was well received. I was sweating buckets after that one.
I ran out of business cards at the end of the Gig...which was 23:50 might I add...bloomin droppin by the end of it I was....verdict is great crowd, great pu ...

Cracking gig at the Travs - Friday 22nd |

Really enjoyed the gig on Friday night. Plenty of vocal support from the audience, one bloke in particular!! My knee held up which is a bonus so bring on the next one!!
Think Gibbo was right about losing weight like!! It was boiling in the room at the travs, and gibbo managed to position himself right in front of the FAN (air circulation device, not a person) that was attempting to cool us all down. We even played Creep which hasn't been in the list for yonks. I think Everlong will always remain a favourite of the bands, but you can tell not many people know it!! may have to be selective when we play that one....500 miles went down a storm, crikey the audience were up for that one!!
I'm in Germnay this week (frankfurt), another training course. Language barrier is a slight problem, but I'll manage. Hope none of my flights are delayed this time on the way home, otherwise it'll be an overnighter in schippol airport.....yipee :-(

Hi,
Well I'm back from me travels (soon to go again) and me Knee is knee worse for wear!!! Still not much going on the practice front. Pretty much down to everyones work commitments...fancy work getting in the way!!! tsch!!!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Friday night!! I seem to remember the last one here being a good'un....hope the turn out is just as good again. Think i might brave playing without a stool (no paul I don't wan't one of yours)!!
Paul's started a new Job this week... I hear he's in Rugby for a few days....wonder if he's worked out it's an absolute s**t hole...well it was when I was there a few years ago. Only good thing is the sign post telling you how to get out!
Wayne's got his Mega Bogie!! Damn, I'm gonna have to make a purchase now....wonder if a new Jim Dunlop Plec could outshine the Mesa??? Hmm perhaps not!!
Wonder if I'll snap a string this week? I thought I was doin ...

Don't let Wayne's latest entry fool you into thinking he's actually bought the MESA!! I'll believe it when I see it!! That Orange has been a part of the furniture for god knows how long and he'll cry when it goes!!
Me, well I've been using a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for the last two and a half years....I've managed to get a good sound when chopping between the 3 guitars I use...must admit like, the Les Paul sounds mint, but then the Fender Japan '72 custom tele re-issue sounds cool too. Don't see many Jap ones around, in fact I haven't seen any, other than mine!!
Wonder how Paul's enjoying Ibiza?? Hope he took a good supply of knotted hankies as well as the required amount of Tindale and Stanton products!!!
oh well, just about to finish work and perhaps I'll get dressed too (I've been in me dressing gown all day gibbo!!!!.....).
Enjoy the rest of your day.....
