The clocks go forward tonight and, as well as it meaning that we get almost no sleep at all, because we're playing at The Chain & Gate for the official opening of their new "Function Room" and probably won't get home until 2:00am (which will actually be 3:00am!), it also means that summer is rapidly approaching, and that can only mean one thing - BEER FESTIVALS!Obviously, for Hugh & Dave, this is great news, because it means they sell loads of their fine ales (even more than usual); for the rest of us it's great news as well, because we get to make great music in front of really happy crowds AND we get to sample plenty of fine ale as well!
We met with Mickey Jones and James Coley from the Macclesfield Round Table, and several Screaming Beavers, to sort out the details for the Macclesfield Beer Festival entertainment - we've agreed to share the billing rights so, on Friday 9 May, the Beavers will be kicking the evening off at around 8:15pm and playing until around 9:45pm. We will then come on at about 10:00pm and play until the death (of the evening or ourselves!). On the Saturday evening the roles will be reversed.
It promises to be a great weekend; details are in the poster above (click to enlarge) and we advise you to get your tickets early - they are only a tenner and, believe me, they sell out really quickly.
As mentioned above, we're on at the Chain & Gate near Congleton tonight - it'll be the usual nonsense, and we believe it's open to anyone who wants to come. For those who don't know where it is, a link to a map is attached
