OK - let's get it out of the way! Saturday's gig was made all the sweeter by the magnificent City win a couple of hours earlier - all the Blues were obviously on cloud nine, and I have to say that even the Reds in the room took the wearing of the City t-shirt and blue and white scarf in good heart (except for the guy who threatened to take the wheels off the dirty white tour van!)! So bring on the mighty Potters - fortunately we don't have a gig booked for 14 May, so Wembley here we come!! As for last Saturday's gig, once again it was a great night at the Cock & Pheasant - some familiar faces, and some new ones (even a coachload from Marple!), which was good because we played some familiar tunes, and some new ones! In fact,
SIX new (or new-ish) songs received an airing - Gimme Shelter, Ballroom Blitz, Don't Fear the Reaper, 20th Century Boy, Hanging on the Telephone and Walk This Way! Audience feedback suggests that they all worked pretty well although, obviously some polishing is needed (will be especially good if Paul & Chrissie can learn all the words to Walk This Way!). Still, we have 3 more practices to do this (and maybe even learn one or two more) before the
Macc Beer Festival on 6 & 7 May. Thanks to Charles & Ann for having us there, and we hope we didn't disturb the neighbours too much! On the subject of the Beer Festival, as we always say around this time,
be sure to get your tickets early, because they really do fly out the door, and we already know that sales have been excellent. With the plethora of Bank Holidays that are just about to hit us, it would be easy to leave it too late, and find you have to sit on a freezing grassy knoll on Priory Lane (without beer!) listening to us, rather than being part of the action -
so don't delay, get your tickets today. Details are on the attached poster (click to enlarge to a legible size!)
We will be sharing the bill again with Monkey Harris and, as usual, we will be doing the late second slot on the
Friday night (so we can have a couple of snifters ourselves on the Saturday!). Friday is always the more popular night so, even more reason to get your skates on!!
