15th - A sunny Saturday evening on the 13th, saw the band arrive at one of our favorite venues, The Queens Tap in Swindon. For those not in the know this is the farthest east venue from Bristol we travel to. For once the what goes where game went extremly well, but then the electrical gremlins came to play and made the finishing set up a real nightmare, stress level now on 11 and we hadn't played a note. However, with a wailing and gnashing of teeth we got there and got everything up and running. We played through the two sets, with no more pesky gremlins present. For this evening we had been working up a couple of new numbers and put those into the sets, Rush's Working Man and Deep Purples Demons Eye, which seemed to go down well. Looking around during the break, a few famliar faces were noticed from previous gigs we had played there and if it was us you had purposly come to see, we thank you. Our thanks as usual to Status for the booking, and Nikki and her staff for making us welcome. Hopefully we can get to do it all again in 2025.

11th - At long last, we have managed to get our 2024 gigs list running, after an aborted attempt earler in the year. The band made their way to The Salthouse at Clevedon on the 9th, but even this was in doubt until the last moment for various reasons. Arriving at 7pm, we were allowed access and began the set up, but found out the venue had changed their tables and their positioning, so our "what goes where" plan A went out the window. After much scratching of heads we managed to sort it all out and fired everything up to make sure it all worked. Set 1 was breezed through, but as we launched into Set 2 Pete realised that at some stage he was going to have to call a halt, due to a failing throat. Not ones to stop playing for any reason, we thought after Rebell Yell to curtail proceedings to save his vocal chords. Unfortunately, the crowd numbers were down on previous years, but that may have been due to the weather and also the kitchen being closed. For the persons who came and stayed, we thank you. Our thanks to Andrea and the staff for making us welcome. Heres to the next one at The Queens Tap and hopefully we will be up to full strength physically and mechanical.
