  1. Strangely, had a dream about this gig last night, though it was a good 46 years ago! Wasn't as exciting a dream as the gig, all that happened was I couldn't get my make-up off at the end of the night...

    At the actual gig we had actual stage divers dressed like Monty Python women!

  2. We rehearse as much as poss...

    Had our 2nd rehearsal with our new drummer (Bob, ex of terminal Rage!). And while we're still a bit rough - some of our songs are quite complicated with annoying stops and rhythm changes - he's getting the hang and we'll hopefully soon be even tighter than we were before.

    Luckily, we haven't got any gigs booked till  May so we can sort some of the previous annoyances out - like getting rid of old drummer's 4 beat fill he always stuck in a 2 beat space, despite hundreds of attempts by me to stamp that out!

  3. I remember when I used to DJ at Leeds University back in the 80s...

    I played almost exclusively, funk, rare groove, electro and funky disco.

    I rarely had an empty dancefloor, folks were happy to get down to James Brown, Parliament, Fatback, Jonzunb Crew, Mean Machine, Trouble Funk...

    But once a guy came up and asked if I had any dance music. I asked what he meant by that and he said "something like The Virgin Prunes" (this was Goth Central in 1984ish!).

    And amazingly, I had Pagan Lovesong on 7".

    So I put it on, the dancefloor emptied and Me-laddo wobbled about on his own for a bit.
