It was remarkably like driving to the Bates motel in the movie 'Psycho', driving to Sleepers last night. The Rain was pelting down and visibility was about 19 inches ahead. Not to worry though, Wayne and I made it there unscathed. Wayne had to follow me through so as not to get lost is the vast chasms of Boldon.
The venue must have been recently re-furbished, it smelled new, or as Wayne said, "you can smell the Ikea-ness" ha ha ha ha. It looked really nice inside and the sound was nice due to the shape of the room and the low ceiling.
It was quite a good turnout, the people were polite and appreciative. Lots of people giving us great feeback after the gig, complementing us on our performance and set diversity etc. So many thanks for that. Its really good that we can make that much of an impression on people, on our first visit to any venue.
We enjoyed our first visit to Sleepers, and thanks again to the Gentleman in charge and of course to Linda for booking us.
Thanks to John for being the star roadie again and helping with the sound etc etc. p.s. If you haven't bought 'The darkness' for x-box 360 yet....go and purchase it now mate....NOW!!!!...tis marvellous.
Thanks to all the people who came to watch us and stuck around, we're grateful for all the kind things you had to say.
See you soon BOLDON......we'll be back!
