It's a year and a week since the dirty white Dazed & Confused tour bus first pitched up at The Windmill for a gig that still lives in the memory, so we thought "why not do it again?!" So, tonight sees us return for another bash at their Local Ale Sale 2010, and we're really looking forward to it. Rehearsals have been out of the question for the last couple of weeks, since the weather has conspired to turn the Brewery into a fridge, and we couldn't even huddle round the fire to keep warm because a new bar is being fitted - don't want to give too much away, but you'll be on your knees if you happen to see it! It does mean we have managed to avoid freezing, but also means that we REALLY enjoy it when we can play together - did it at The Ship last week (see below) and tonight should be just as good. The Windmill is a great pub - friendly staff, good food, great beer and a fine atmosphere, so why not treat yourself to some grub and a bop - just don't come too near the band if you've eaten too much! Here's a map of how to get there, if you fancy it.Last week's gig at the Ship was a cracker; as you may well know, it's always a good laugh when we play there, and as last week was in celebration of Chris Caudwell's journey into retirement-land, it was doubly good. A great crowd (including some new faces), plenty of singing and dancing, 4 encore songs and a couple of potential band bookings - almost perfect! Probably a little too much jumping around on my part, if the stiffness on Sunday is anything to go by but, hey, you're only old once! We're actually back at The Ship on 19 February for their all-weekend bash, so we can do it all over again - reminds me of a song "If I could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You" or something similar!
Anyway, my little Confused-lings, time to go - so don't forget to drag yourselves out in the rain and wind tonight - and give The Windmill a whirl.
