WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!

Almost exactly a year ago, we played Porter's Ale House as our Christmas gig and, just as we were unloading the gear, the heavens opened, a ton of snow landed on our heads, and it stayed like that for about 6 weeks! The picture on the left shows Chrissie trying to get back into her house at 2:00 the following morning - a frozen gate and 18 pints of beer made it more difficult than it needed to be!

The purpose of this trip down memory lane is to point out that we are playing this year's Christmas gig on Saturday at The Old Ship Inn on Beech Lane and, if the weather forecast is to be believed, history is likely to repeat itself! Another shed load of the white stuff is expected on Saturday (if not before) - but don't let that put you off!! There WILL be fires to keep you warm, there WILL be beer (and hot toddies!) to get you in the Christmas spirit and there WILL be great music (of course!) so wrap up warm, unleash the huskies, and get yourselves down there in good time to get a prime position!!

There is, apparently, a Strictly/X-Factor thing going on, since The Injectors have managed to wangle a gig that night as well (not telling you where!), and are touting for business! But, whatever you do, don't think about trying to fit both gigs into your evening - you will more than likely end up marooned in the middle of Macc, so head straight to the Ship and stay there - much better plan!

We're all geared up for it, since it's 3 weeks or so since we were on the road - maybe 3 new songs to share with you as well - we're due to practice tonight and, as long as we can keep the throat lurgy at bay, we should be able to box them off ready for Saturday! Without gving too much away, there might be a bit of Bon Jovi, T Rex and James for your delight (and some tinsel, obviously!).

See you there! Ho, Ho Ho!!
