peteb Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I remember the Rocket!! The last place in the local area where you could get a light and bitter and 5 Woodbines for a half crown. The only music around then was a very out of tune Danny Boy by the crossing at about 11.30. Good days. Yep, I used to live just down around the corner 30 years ago and that is exactly how I remember it! I have been told that the area has since been gentrified quite a bit...

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Last Saturday at The Ash Tree in Ashford - the gig started in daylight with a near-deserted pub, but by the start of the second set the band had attracted a sizeable dancing crowd! https://www.flickr.com/gp/bluejay_my_photos/2S6X22 Edited November 13, 2017 by Silvia Bluejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Great photos - really capture the spirit of the evening - I should bribe you to take photos of my band - all the ones we try come out black or blurred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Last time I wore the fez was with my '96 England shirt when we played The King's Head (Acton) just before England -v- Sweden. When we finished playing, the pub discovered that their Sky contract had been allowed to expire (oops!). No worries, the match was obviously available on terrestrial too. Then the pub discovered that their aerial had been disconnected (oops!). Meanwhile, the barman is watching the match on his iPad so one of the punters produces an iPad and does the same. By now punters are drifting away ... they want to see the match. So the barman puts a chair on stage (this is before the refurb when they took away the stage, obviously) and balances his iPad on it for the whole pub to watch. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Oh dearie, dearie me. That was a Group Match in the June 2012 Euros. We went out on penalties against Italy in the Quarter Finals. I'm sorry, what was your question again?

Silvia Bluejay Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Last Saturday's gig at the Chiswick Club Society was the second gig that day for Jack (the first was with King Ralph in the afternoon), less that 24 hours after having a motorbike accident. Luckily the flowing adrenaline and the fun of the gig numbed some of the pain for the duration.https://flic.kr/s/aHskhT8kUW Edited November 13, 2017 by Silvia Bluejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
