New Year's Eve at the Rowbarge, Guildford

























Our last gig of 2010 and one of the best. Mark and Chrissie, the landlords of the Rowbarge are an example of how landlords should be. Always welcoming and very keen to promote live music at their pub. The band always looks forward to playing there.

The Rowbarge, Guildford, 16th October

Our second visit to this riverside pub music venue. Mark and Chrissie, the landlords, always make us feel very welcome. A good night entertaining a wedding party and our travelling friends Judy and Judi (pictured below with John Parry and Iain Fidler). Our next gig at the Rowbarge is on the 4th December.

The Rowbarge, Guildford, August the 14th


This was the band's first visit to the Rowbarge on the River Wey, Guildford on Saturday the 14th August. Mark (in the shorts) and Chrissie, the landlords, made us feel very welcome and once we had sorted out the in house PA problems and my temperamental Marshall amp (now consigned to the scrap heap) we had a very good gig. Quite a small stage area, if we had gone out as our normal five piece we would have struggled, as it was we played as a four piece with Patrick Quirke depping on bass. Iain our trusty keyboard player is away on holiday in Cornwall at the moment but will be back for next weekend's gigs. A kind young lady on the tow path took these photos just before the gig, if that's you please contact me and I'll put your name on the photo credits and buy you a pint of Guinness for your trouble! We're back on the 16th October for a return gig.




The Propaganda Music Canteen,12th August



We were called out at very short notice to do a gig on the 12th August at the Propaganda bar in Andover. We've played at the Propaganda Bar in Fleet so were glad to help them out. A very large bar area with a very small playing space which played havoc with the PA all evening. Tommy O'Donnell our regular drummer had to pull out of the gig at the last minute due to work commitments but managed to rope in Jim Russell (pictured above with Patrick Quirke) at very short notice (two hours). Jim's an excellent drummer and slotted in really well with the band. His playing credits are quite impressive too including playing with The Human League, Paul Young's Los Pacaminos, Junior Walker, Peter Green, Hank Wangford, the list goes on. So many thanks to Jim for helping us out and we look forward to seeing him again.
