Playing in the Park

Wow.Wow.Wow. Tonight's gig at the Risley Park ..was a real gamble. A new band..a new venue ..but hearts sank, as 15 minutes before the start of the dance...only 4 people in the audience...but the show must go on....but by 8pm we had a full house. Almost as if a coach party had turned up! The crowd were buzzing and the band on fire. From Jersey bounce to the finale of Valerie...the audience savored every last note. No dance floor...but people danced. The whole band were drenched with sweat, as they played their hearts out to a wonderful bunch of music lovers. Lots of lovely compliments at the end...with one recurring question...when will we be back....well just like Schwarzenegger...we will be...and very soon. Watch this space....now where's my motorcycle and Sun glasses...asta la Vista Cranberry Flick.

Au naturale

A technical rehearsal for Cranberry tonight. The whole works. All PA all monitors all acoustic shields ...but no clothes. By that, I don't mean we will be playing Tainted love naked!!! But we won't be wearing our retro kit. Ted would have nowhere to store his wallet anyway . Joking apart. If you have a loose end tonight,! Why not drive to to down town spondon and a little beer distillery called The Vernon Arms and see how we put the flick  into cranberry. Would be great to see you for a pint. 8 don't be late.
