On course for the record!

[Bilbo]

On course for my 120th gig by the end on December - that's 40 more than last year!!! Best year ever since I was born (which occured at a very early age)!!!

Credit Crunch my a8&£!!!

How far out from felixstowe do you gig bilbo,into essex aswell i presume?

I'm on course for an average of 1 per week this year, not bad considering we had 2 enforced breaks to get in a new drummer then later a new guitard. We'll aim for about 60 next year which about all we can manage with family stuff to fit in as well as work.

[The Funk]

That's impressive guys. How the hell do you fill these venues?

1. We only play covers.
2. We work our socks off.
3. Pretty blonde singer with a great voice [maybe this should be number 1!!].

This year I have been as far North as Kings Lynn and as far West as Oxfordshire. A few London gigs and, yes, some in Essex.

I didn't realise your band was AOS, I was looking up your MySpace site the other day and realised you play gigs in the area I grew up in. If I'm up visiting relatives next time you play in Cleckheaton I'll try to drop in the Rose & Crown and say hello. I was also thinking of getting a few ideas from your set list as I'm also working with a female singer at the moment!

That'd be great. Phil the new landlord at the Rose & Crown is a top bloke. He used to book us regularly when he had the Coniston in Bradford, and has now booked us for his pub in Baildon as well as the Rose and Crown. You're welcome to borrow ideas; we didn't write any of the songs! Most of our set is tailored to our vocalist's singing style, so you won't find any rapping / shouting or very rapid-fire lyrics as none of that suits her.
