Our gig Saturday night was expected to be a bit of a muted affair, due to a range of other events happening in the area the same night.

While we did lose a few of our usual following to these, it turned out to be a busy night after all, with plenty of new faces (and future followers).

These included one bloke who I know from our village who never knew I was in a band, but had us recommended to him by the postman who regularly attends our gigs.

Also there was someone I'd not seen since leaving school!

Gig wise, the usual two 45 minutes sets of the British 76-82 punk classics - first outing for Stay Free by The Clash was a bit wobbly but well received!

Played my shortscale LP Junior DC custom bass through the Orange Terror 500 and twin Isobaric cabs (lurking in the darkness with it's one glowing orange eye!). The Samsamp Geddy Lee YYZ pedal put a touch of damaged/overdriven speaker cone effect into the sound for authenticity, while the usual Dr Martens black safety boots (health and safety at all times!!) kept me the right way up all night!

Next one is in a marquee at a scooter rally in a couple of weeks.....
