Onwards and upwards

Busy week with Stackers this week, starting at The Globe, Cardiff on Wednesday from there we head progressively northward culminating at The Inn at Athlones, St Andrews on Saturday night. The mind boggling, ass numbing mileage will be spent with all ten of us (band plus Mike the manager and Dave the sound) sharing the fetid air in the front of a van, the rear portion of which will be rammed to the gunwales with gear and luggage. James brings a suitcase; what it contains I have no idea as he always seems to wear the same misshapen apparel day after day. Think of us and muse on the folly of the life we have chosen. Pip! Pip!

A Good Good Friday

An extended Bank Holiday weekend, WHOO-HOO! What makes it even more savoury is the fact that there are 2 MSB gigs in the offing too. Tonight (the good Good Friday alluded to above) at The Rock Gardens, Weston-Super-Mare. A new venue to us so we hope to deliver the goods in no uncertain style and get a re-book (not a rebok, something entirely different). Tomorrow (even better Saturday?) we repair to The Old Ship, Upwey, Weymouth. This is almost home turf for us as we rehearse in The Old Ship's skittle alley/ function room most midweeks. We hope that we can attract a sizable crowd to help repay Pam and Kev for their support.
