Cold day. Martin Depping. Journey over involved a 10 minute delay for an accident on the A47, otherwise it was good going and I still arrived on time to find Nigel already there. He had been over to Plug studios to pick up his Audix mic left behind on Thursday – he was lucky it was still there! PJ apologised in advance for the expected low turnout due to pub re-opening session nearby. We managed to all get set up on the small stage and waited for an audience to arrive. By 8:45 pm there was a table of 5 lads and PJ. So we opened up and enjoyed a bit of banter with the lads until they cleared off about 4 numbers into it. That left PJ and a chap he was talking to. We completed the set playing to these 2 and took a break. PJ came over and said the band sounded great and apologised again. Off we went with set 2 playing a few try outs, including “Sky High, How Long (Ace), How Long (Eagles), How Sweet It Is” with Martin on lead vocals. It all worked quite well considering we hadn't played them much before. Actually it was a good sound on stage and we all found it quite pleasant to play and try out things. Our final set was more of the same: trying out things and taking our time I think I did “Honky Tonk Women”, Martin did “Walk of Life” and Nigel did “Hippy Hippy Shake”. We finished with “Johnny B Goode” and a couple came into to dance so we extended it a bit with bass and drum solos and it was well appreciated by the 4 people in the room! But that was it – time to pack up and make our way home. Had a quiet run home getting in about 1:30am
