Gotta love this place. The Manager is well into it. He has his own problems with the noise abatement society so we have to try really hard for him to keep his music license. The bands basically keep him afloat I think and it’s a real shame as he is the real deal.

This gig saw us putting our first original song into the set: Moths to the Flame

We bought a PA cab (mid size) for this gig and tried it for the first time here. Typically we have a very small PA and a MAHOOSSSIVE PA and nothing in the middle. Here we used the small gig PA as monitors.

Also making a first appearance was my Optikinetics Solar 250 Projector and that was Trippy!!! Checkout the Green Head Man group in Facebook or YouTube for a viewing of it.



Finally, I brought along my trusty Zoom 16 track digital studio and recorded the gig and from it have around 10 songs that are of good enough quality to get onto a CD.

If anyone would like a copy then please let me know!

It’s always a cracker here, Kind of spiritual home really. the first band recording was done here and its Ron's local.

We also have a bit of a superstar fan who drinks here too and likes to make sure he is at our gigs, at the front, eyes closed, rocking out to it.

It’s a little disconcerting when you are doing a keyboard solo and you look over at the band and in the corner of your eye you see a multi multi multi millionaire listening next to your speaker, As soon as that happened I was like better get this solo right, oh no I've just messed it up from thinking about it!!

He's a good sport and he loves the era that we are playing if not the band himself. Last time we chatted he ended up singing old Bad Company songs to me (and he's not Paul Rogers) and you really do have to pinch yourself!

Gig was great, really enjoyed it as always. We brought out some new tracks too:

Magic Potion by The Open Mind
I got a line on you by Spirit
Good Love by the Rascals

Not sure that last one will see the light of day again to be honest but it’s on the list anyway!
