GIG UPDATE!

Oh my Lord, it's getting complicated keeping up with this gig business!

Looks like the Ronnie's gig on 2 November is off, because someone (not Matt, no definitely not Matt) ended up getting us double booked with some other band! We've set him the challenge of getting us in when there is nobody else on - let's see what happens! Matt has a new beefy, sod off bass amp (not in tweed, surprisingly enough!), so he needs to be able to show it off - perhaps that will be the incentive he needs!

So, the gig list for the rest of the year is updated on the right - for those too lazy to look there, here's a summary:

• Thursday 6 November - Jolly Sailor, Sunderland Street, Macc
• Friday 21 November - The Hollins, Black Lane, Macclesfield
• Thursday 27 November - Private party
• Saturday 29 November - The Ship Inn, Beech Lane, Macclesfield (tbc)
• Saturday 20 December - The Bruce Armas, Crompton Road, Macclesfield
• Saturday 27 December - Private party
• Monday 29 December - Private party (to be confirmed)

The last 2 gigs we played earlier in the month went off well - Sarah's dad's party at the Moorside in Disley was a hoot - a 60th party with people of all ages enjoying themselves! The next night we pitched up at the Broken Cross Beer Festival, which was a real education - not quite what we expected! Anyway, between us and Gizelle, we managed to get people up and dancing, although I suspect some of them were a bit stiff in the morning! Matt managed to devour 3 portions of hog roast, so he was well pleased!

So, next appearance is back at the Jolly Sailor on 6 November - some new stuff to practice, so get down there!

OCTOBER, AND IT'S STILL BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!

So, another month rolls round and, looking out of the window, it is blindingly obvious that Autumn has arrived! However, for Dazed & Confused, one month is pretty much the same as another - more music to play and more fun to be had, and this month is no exception!

Having said that, we've got this weekend off - one of us is away sailing (in this weather!), one of us is in a caravan in Wales (in this weather!), and one of us is dying with a stinking cold (in this weather - no hold on, that doesn't work). Anyway, it gives us a chance to gird our loins for next weekend when we do a double header in Disley on Friday 10th (private party) and then the Broken Cross Beer Festival on Saturday 11th.

Not sure what the plan is for the Beer Festival (other than to play music and drink beer!) but there is a link to their website, which give some more information

Looks like you can start drinking at 12:00 noon, but we're not on until the evening, so it could go one of 2 ways - we'll bring the body armour and tin hats just in case!! Also seems like there's somebody else on with us as well (well, hopefully, not actually with us, as it could get a tad confusing!) - she looks a feisty lady, and as if she could eat us all for breakfast, so we'll have to watch out for her (good job there's a hog roast on!)

So, if you're at a loose end, and feeling thirsty next Saturday evening, why not mosey on down to good old Broken Cross and have yourself a real good time y'all - yee hah!
