Back in the saddle after a weekend off, and I almost needn't have bothered; a refurbished pub in the arse-end of Bolton

I'm originally from one of the several arse-ends of Bolton - give us a clue whereabouts you were...

A different gig today - Monday! Government evening party. We weren't in the best shape, although we had lots of rehearsals, and the setlist was ready two or three weeks ago. It wasn't the easiest place, somewhat reverbing, but the worst was that I couldn't hear others on the other side of the stage.

 

Two long sets, quite some people. There was too much light, and people were a bit shy to get to the floor. But our singers were in very good mood, and made the evening.

Wow. They are pretty vintage. I've not seen those before. Fabulous!


Chuck Taylor also did a Hendrix shoe with the Axis Bold as Love motif , unfortunately some Hindu community activists called the shoes insulting , and Converse immediately stopped selling them. They fetch a premium today.

Another trip up to The Lookout on the Pier in Scarborough for our acoustic duo last night.

The bad weather had subsided and it was very mild so an easy drive there. Usual capacity

crowd in this small cafe bistro venue, lots of familiar faces so a nice atmosphere. Christmas

decs up in the room, and some of the boats in the harbour had lights on as well.

 

Lots of requests, mainly more old stuff from a more err….mature audience. These songs

included ‘This Masquerade’ , ‘Africa’ ( I really have to concentrate singing the harmony

in this one whilst trying to remember the bassline), and one of my favourites, Springsteen’s

’If I should fall behind’. Audience were very enthusiastic, and we did an encore of ‘Sultans

of Swing’ ( which went on a bit but made more interesting for me by a small trawler coming

in to moor up just by the window behind us). 
We’ve just been offered a regular load of gigs for 2025 in this great venue. It’s a 100 mile round

trip for us but never a problem, so really pleased. 


Ibanez PCBE12 into Rumble 100 combo / DI into PA.

Clarks black suede chukka boots, size 10.
