Not a van moment, but years ago played a largish venue in Huddersfield. We were in the dressing room, which was directly behind the stage, waiting for our time to go on, when the DJ came running in. He said something like "Alright Lads", pi$$ed in the sink and ran back to the stage again.

Will miss your gig reports Dave but sounds as though you have made the right decision for you. Did I read that you had joined a rock covers band though, or have I got that wrong. Alan.

Not sure how new this is but I only discovered yesterday. Channel 284 GIGS on Freeview, data only channel, has loads of decent looking bands on. Last night had The Killers from the Albert Hall, Bon Jovi this afternoon and currently (Sunday evening) U2.

We had't chased a NYE gig this year but a pub we have played quite a few times got let down by another band. They put out a Facebook message for a band and we are now playing. Looking forward to it.

The nearest pub to me also, usually a good night in there

Returned to The New Inn in Buckingham last night. Started off a little quiet but filled up nicely later on and turned into a great night. Got two bookings for next year. Only pic shows our guitarist sound checking.

Played a 50th birthday for our singers other half last night at a pub in Kempston. Glad the road over was reopened after the recent flooding. Good lively evening and took the opportunity to play some newly learned songs.

We've been rehearsing Crazy Train, now ready to play at our next gig. Got a railway cap for our singer to wear!

Thanks for the link. Ordered a set Thursday evening and were delivered this morning.

The Rock Formation returned to play The New Inn in Buckingham last night. Great night but very hot, quite a few commented on how much they enjoyed our sets. Dep drummer as our own is recovering from a recent operation. No pics, we are back there in October.

Yes, watched it myself, very enjoyable. Sadly never got to see Rory play live.

It was OK actually. First time I had been in there. There was a couple of door men in case of any problems. One of them even helped to carry some of our gear in. I am not a great curry fan personally!

We played McCathy's Sports Bar in Bletchley on Saturday. I believe live music is a relatively new thing there and the guy who runs it is trying to build things up. Very quiet to start with but got busier for our 2nd set.

A bit late reporting, The Rock Formation played The Prince Albert in Milton Keynes on Saturday. Seemed to go down well.

So sorry for your loss.
