Our last gig with stand in superhero "Chaz".
Not a bad gig musically with a very good turn out from our usual entourage - cheers guys and gals for your support! - This gig was different from any other pubs we have performed at in the fact that it was in their function room and not the pub itself. The good news was we were able to get the kiddie fans on site - they rarely get to watch us perform as much they would like so it was good that they could participate this time round. The bad news unfortunately, was that not many pub regulars were there, and those who did come, remained in the main bar area all night. Not sure whether we were too loud, or whether it was assumed that it was a private function. It could simply be that they thought we were rubbish! I'd like to think not as the landlord and landlady assured us that the regulars that were there said we were good and that they would like us back at some stage in the future. Maybe in the winter months when trade picks up, will we see an increase in regular pub goers - Let's hope so as the O2 and Wembley arena's are not on the agenda in the very near future!
For the first time ever since we started out, we were not harassed for encores at this gig and it sent alarm bells ringing that perhaps people were getting a little bored. Discussions afterward subsided our fears and we were told not to be so f***ing stupid! By the end of the evening there was probably only a handful of people left, kids were tired and people simply wanted to get home. There were lots of drivers there this evening so hardly anyone was goonered which never helps. We need drunk people to get up and set the mood!
We'd like to take this opportunity one last time to thank Chaz, the stand in bass player for his faultless efforts, and to his own band Slack Harry for allowing us to borrow him! Our own bearded hero of bass has returned to us and we look forward to playing with Jock "The Rock" Block soon.
