Not sure about West Sussex taking over the world? We're a bit too sleepy for that aren't we, but anything's possible I suppose! Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Bognor Rox isn't related to BilliRox, is it? Welcome back, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't make Rox this year. The rest of the band were in London to see Spamalot arranged ages ago so it was a bit of a bugger that we were asked this year. Mind your the last two times we almost did it as a band it was either hurling it down (so we ended up doing the gig in an obliging pub on the front) or started hurling it down 2 songs into the set, so our record with the weather as a full band is not good.

Just about surviving encroaching old age & another joint replaced in June Are you going up to the Guildford bash in August?

Halfway through the third number on the main stage the heavens opened, the audience disappeared and we eventually finished the set with the sound crew zipped in their tent, the stage crew on stage with us and the 2 security guys in waterproofs standing out front in case someone rushed the stage. We did hear applause from somewhere but couldn't see where. In 2003 on the second stage we couldn't get down to the stupid sound level set by some jobsworth in the district council so they faded us down. The unamplified drum kit was over their limit. We walked off, had a big row with the organisers, the mayor and the police. Put all the kit back in the cars and went home. What a waste of a beautiful afternoon. I'm not sure I ever want to go to Bognor again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bognor is a wierd place.....lots of small town politics and jobsworths! In my work, I come up against that all the time so I'm not surprised to hear of your story. Look forward to seeing you at the Bash, Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
