I like this pub. It’s the place where I made my "comeback (tm)" on Feb 14th 2009 after 10years out of the game and that makes it a little special.
Its run by the same people who run the Wishing Well but a different vibe altogether, its tight on stage but the venue is very deep and the sound gets lost nicely. PA supplied so it’s a relatively easy setup, if a bit squashy. I didn't bring my new piano to this gig either - still not worked it into the set enough I think.
Little Dave is still unable to talk let alone sing and Big Dave stepped in and did an excellent job under difficult circumstances. Little Dave wore a surgical mask on stage with a smiley face drawn on it in lipstick, so that he didn't get drawn into a conversation, we have a gig tomorrow and next week and he needs to get well soon!
We all worked just that extra bit harder tonight to compensate and give the punters something to chew on. It got busy, as they all seem to do, and we went down really well.
Me and Ron made our usual backline jokes and ripped up the set list as usual (waste of trees that) and Little Dave was extremely tired at the end. A last minute decision was made and I took him home around 11:45 for him to get some rest for the gig tomorrow.
