Nearly a month since my last blog, which will probably be the norm now we've decided to go for quality not quantity on the gig front. But first things first, had a very pleasant week in sunny Tenerife, found some beer at 1 euro a pint, well I say beer, it was the local largery stuff really but in the absence of anything remotely approaching proper beer I managed to force a few down my throat with the help of Wendy Verbett.. Spent the evenings watching tribute acts, that's the way to earn a living, turn up with a mini disc backing track sing somebody else's songs for 45 minutes job done. Buddy Holly was very good although he did keep straying into Eric Morcombe territory by moving his glasses up and down and shouting way hey and the end of every song. Freddie Mercury was also entertaining once he'd assured us all he wasn't the real Freddie and he hadn't got AIDS.
On to the Tiger gig with just one practice under our belts and it turned out to be just what the band needed, our Long Eaton contingent turned out in force, we got the sound spot on and a good time was had by all, got a bit of a mosh pit going, the highlight of which was singer boy being grabbed by a girl ( with very dubious tastes) and both of them crashing into the drum kit.
Next gig the Sitwell Tavern, see you there.
