Green

The word is spreading about the fantastic show given by Cranberry Flick. We are now travelling around the country. Usually in individual cars and Ted on his push bike ( he has a little basket on the front where he carries his trumpet and sombrero) It was hard work for him when we travelled to the depths of Lincolnshire, with storm Dennis making travelling a tad risky. However, the warm welcome we got at the Valentine's Steampunk dance was overwhelming...plus we got fed steak pie and mushy peas!!! Not a good combination for a brass player. Our lovely vocalist Angie Jean dug deep and the show went on ,despite her having a throat lurgy. A couple of days rest...( I say rest ,as most of our musicians play in different bands) and we found ourselves in a very cold tent for the Derby winter Beer festival at the roundhouse. We did the soundcheck in coats hats and thermal long John's....until someone turned the heating on. With over 400 different ales to sample, the band did an outstanding job ,of testing all, hic. Back on the road soon to chesterfield and beyond.
