The Junkyard Dogs (Happy Jack, MacDaddy, Paul the Drums)

[Silvia Bluejay]

We've had a bit of a break from gigging, until last Saturday when the Dogs were back on home ground, at the Chswick Club again.

Semi-acoustic gig at a private function yesterday afternoon. We dodged the rain - just - also thanks to our state-of-the-art waterproofing system.







Note the tarpaulins on the pedalboards!

We were just standing in for Wet Wet Wet.

New venue for the Dogs last night - the Walton Working Men's Club. There were a lot of laser beams and stage lights!

The Dogs were back at the Red Lion in Isleworth last night, after a hiatus. It was a fun gig with a great audience.

is there are reasoning behind the stripey shirts? or is it all they own?

[Happy Jack]

Rick (tash & perm) got into the habit of always wearing that shirt at gigs, no reason that I ever knew. Then Si (MacDaddy of this parish) decided to buy a nearly matching one. You'd have to ask him why he did that.

I'm in no position to criticise. I always used to wear my Insecurity shirt for the load in before changing into a fresh shirt for the gig. About five years ago I gave up changing, so I always wear the same shirt at gigs too.

Rock & roll!

[Silvia Bluejay]

Back home to the Chiswick Club Society last Saturday!

Walking in the audience while playing bass is cool, but does occasionally attract some unwanted attention...

Post-holiday gig for the Dogs, first time at the Railway in Greenford, on a veeery hot night!

And last night's gig, again in Chiswick - we hadn't played The Tabard for quite a while. It was great fun!

Tiumphant return to the newly refurbished Halfway House in Barnes last Saturday. Private function, so no photos of the very friendly, happily dancing crowd.

Seeing as it's Wimbledon week, here's our encore from our debut gig at the Prince of Wales, opposite Centre Court, last Saturday.

This thread is long overdue an update - about a dozen gigs are missing from the list!

Just one photo for each gig, to keep it short. This is from the Tabard in Chiswick, last February:




March saw the band play a new - for us - venue, the White Hart in Hemel. They have a sort of alcove for bands to set up in, and the place was heaving.

[Silvia Bluejay]

April saw the band back at the Admiral Nelson in Twickenham:



And in May we were back to the Barley Mow in Shepperton after a long hiatus:

[Silvia Bluejay]

The Tabard W4 once again, still in May. This time the band was asked to set up in the back room.



At the beginning of June we revisited the Walton Working Men's Club. They had turned off the fairy lights on the wall, so we went overboard with our own lights, plus Paul's 'flourescent Sainsburys carrier bag'

Semi-acoustic private function in Chiswick in June, the day after our wedding.



Yes, that's Jack's new double bass outfit.

[Silvia Bluejay]

Jack has already mentioned the gig at the Prince of Wales in Wimbledon and posted a video - this is one pic taken before the mad dancing started. That pillar in front of the band does the shot no favours...

[Silvia Bluejay]

Another semi-acoustic gig, at Kew Village Market, this time finally in good weather at the beginning of July.

[Silvia Bluejay]

Another return to the Barley Mow in Shepperton earlier this month:



... and, the following night, to the back room at the Tabard W4:



A week later, once more at the Nelson in Twickenham:

[Silvia Bluejay]

We now have a showreel of the unplugged Kew Market gig last July:
