No.1: At The Old Ship Inn in aid of The Stroke Association - this went off really well; the pub was packed, and loads of money was collected for the charity. Again, I won't go into details but, hopefully, what we did will help to help people who find themselves in need of help from the SA.
No.2: Last night we played the most surreal gig of my life - we entertained fifty or so 21 year olds at the birthday party for my 2 daughters!! Not only did this seem to be totally the wrong way round, but also they all seemed to have the time of their lives!
We played at HQ (i.e. the Storm Brewing Company premises in Macclesfield, where we practice each week!), and converted the place into a veritable den of iniquity - although I'm not sure Lucy and Anna appreciated the slideshow of photos from their lives!
Dave wasn't able to be with us, but we played 2 great sets, and we were joined by Mr Hambley for the second set - everyone had a fantastic time and, although there were some sore heads amongst the younger members this morning, we have now achieved legendary status with students from Sheffield, London, Leeds, Loughborough.........etc., and will, no doubt, be "Facebooked" across the country (already tagged as "Lucy and Anna's pissup in a Brewery" - thanks Xanthe!)!
Surprisingly, I remember my own 21st party - Ray's Place in Fallowfield, Manchester actually, 1974 - but my Dad certainly didn't provide the entertainment!
More photos to follow, when Gordon puts them onto CD!!
