ONLY 2 MORE 25THs AND THEN IT'S CHRISTMAS!!

Well, goodness me, just enough time to squeeze in a post to make it 2 for September, and then it's downhill to Christmas - as the post heading suggests, it will be here sooner than we think (want)!

What I find most incredible is that it only seems like 5 minutes ago that I was sitting here in January trying to work out how this blogspot thing works, and now we're looking down the telescope labeled 2009! OK, maybe I'm exaggerating, but you know what I mean!

Anyway, as far as Dazed & Confused are concerned, September has been a hive of activity, even though holidays have intervened! We played Nigel & Claire's wedding in Swindon - a good night, even if the first set was a bit slow (this happens at some weddings because the punters seem to want to talk to each other because they haven't met for years - strange, but true!).
The second set (and the sound!) got better, and everyone seemed to have a really good time. Hugh, Andy, Chrissie and Matt decide to go straight back home afterwards, which meant they arrived back in Macclesfield at 4:00am having left there at 1:00pm the previous day (despite Hugh's TomTom saying they would get home an hour earlier!). Meanwhile, Paul started his holiday in a lovely country hotel, and Dave was left to clear up and bring all the gear back!

Once Paul returned from France (having missed City's magic 6-0 win!), the band had a little refresher practice before playing the Bruce Arms on Friday 26th and a private party in Disley on Saturday 27th. Both gigs went off well; Friday at the Bruce started slowly (we normally play ther on a Saturday, so it was a bit of a surprise!), but by the end, everyone was up and jumping (including Shaun and Heather from Canada!), and it was only the neighbours that brought things to a close (again!). On Saturday, we did wonder why people would rather enjoy us from the sidelines rather than get up and dance, but hey ho!

So, onward to the Autumn! More gigs booked in (check the listing on the right) - we're playing the Broken Cross Beer Festival on 11 October, on at Ronnie's Bar in Duke's Court on 2 November and, as previously trailed, we play The Hollins on 21 November. Plan your diaries accordingly - we will be sending out Facebook invitations as well!

It's looking like a record year for D&C bookings, and we'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who has supported us through the year so far - our faithful fans (the "Dazed Massive"!) and all the folks who have "discovered" us as the year has gone on - stick with us, it can only get better!
