"THERE'S NOTHING MORE JOYOUS THAN A BEER FESTIVAL AND DAZED & CONFUSED!!"

So here we are on the Monday after the Beer Fest - all deflated and wondering what to do with ourselves after the highs of the weekend! I'm not going to bore you with the all the details of how good everything was (especially us!), cos you've heard it all before, and it sounds a bit (a lot!) self-congratulatory (quite right too!). All I'll do is point you at the videos that Paparazzi Pete (and another, as yet unknown person!) has posted on YouTube (you can see them by just clicking on the link above this message), and the photos that are posted on the D&C Massive Facebook page - that way you can either re-live it for yourselves, or get a flavour for what you missed! If you're wondering about the title to this post, it's a quote from another of our longstanding supporters (Ian Gilliver), who said it to me when we wobbled into each other at the end of Friday night, just before he staggered off into the night! Just about sums it up really!
We've another gig on Thursday - at the Rugby Club again, would you believe?! It's in aid of the Beat Bowel Cancer campaign, and 2 lads are trying to raise sponsorship for their cross-channel escapade (in a bath or something!); if you have £20 to spare, I'm sure there are still a few tickets left, so why not come along and start NEXT weekend early?!

THEY THINK IT'S ALL OVER - NOT A CHANCE!!

Half time whistle blew at around midnight - second half kicks off in about 3 hours time!

An absolutely BRILLIANT night last night - we seem to have been doing this forever, but without a doubt, yesterday's session was up there with the best; everything - the crowd, the sound balance, the "vibe", the numbers we played, seemed to come together so well - AND we got to finish with Delilah!!!



A couple of photos to give you an idea - including one of Paparrazzi Pete (Banks) who took them! Pete is now officially anointed as the D&C Official Photographer (see below!) and, as it was his birthday last night, he even got Happy Birthday sung to him by 1000 people!! Pete has promised some vids as well, so we look forward to them, and the set was recorded, so we'll see what that sounds like!




























So, we move onto Chapter 2 tonight

Friday 6 May 2011

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!



Well - it's 6:00pm on Friday 6 May so, in an hour, the doors (or more accurately, the flaps!) will open on the 2011 Macclesfield Beer Festival!

All tickets for tonight are SOLD OUT so, if you haven't already got your ticket, you will be disappointed. However, I believe there still a few left for tomorrow night, so get your skates on.

In the meantime - LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!
