Saturday afternoon saw us back at The Roxbury in Blyth for an acoustic slot at 4.20pm. Some afternoon busy traffic meant we got to the venue around 4.15pm much to the relief of Pete 'Acoustic' Shaw our genial host for the day. So we were pretty much plugged in and ready to roll within minutes of getting there. Just how we like it. Perched on our Val Doonican stools me and Paul breezed through a good 25 minute set including a cover of Sex Pistols 'Pretty Vacant'. A great reception and banter was our reward for a good afternoons work. We also stuck around for a few tunes from Pete Shaw himself and a great set from My Cold Poison AKA Rob Lowdon from Sorry For Nothing. Cheers to all who came along and to Vince for asking us to play.
On to Sunday and we were back at Bubbles in Ashington in the middle of a punk rock sandwich between The Band for Disease Control and Prevention & Hooligan from Dublin, Ireland. TBFDCP kicked off the night with their quirky new wave modern sound in what was their first Live gig. Nice. We hit the stage around 9pm and blasted through a cracking 40 minute set and went down a storm with friends and fans old and new. Merchandise continued to sell well afterwards so we couldnt have asked for more It was really hot up there and we sweated buckets, it was all worth it. Top gig. Thanks to Bran from Bubbles for a great job on our sound.
Hooligan finished the night off with their short sharp uptempo punk tuneage and even a guest backing vocal spot by Mr Newman himself. A great night had by all yet again. Thanks also to Keith for putting this night on and asking us to play. And of course to everyone who came to support us and made a noise, much appreciated.
Cheers
Peesh
