Mojo - Classic Rock

Cattistock village, deep in the heart of Dorset, quiet, almost sleepy you could say. Believe me you would be wrong!

The Fox and Hounds in Cattistock is a beautiful old building with thick walls and intriguing small areas off the main rooms. Absolutely excellent and it is also home to a great set of connections to HMS Cattistock if my eyes were correct. Check out the HMS Cattistock Affiliations here

The Landlady, Liz, welcomed us in and showed where to set up – out in the skittle alley. Sound could be a bit strange out there – wooden floors and stone walls, low ceiling…? Who knows?

We were slightly late starting, but it was evident that Cattistock is NO sleepy village when it comes to enjoying themselves!! A BBQ was on the go in the back yard and people began to arrive and make themselves very much at home – it’s very obvious that Liz and Scott have an excellent pub! Sound was definitely NOT a problem as the Fox and Hounds made us VERY welcome. The floor had people dancing pretty much all night!

A bit of rock and roll later in the evening and the place went mad! This was one excellent gig and we really look forward to going back in October.

Than you Cattistock for a great evening!

3rd of July saw Mojo down in Sandbanks at the Haven Hotel! Yes we were asked to play at a wedding and it was an excellent gig. The hotel is fantastic venue – right on the front next to the Sandbanks/Studland ferry. The hotel manager came to let us know about a sound limiter – never a good thing for the gear if they are set low or very sensitive.

The guests took a little while to warm up in the bar next to the ballroom but as soon as the disco (my apologies here as I never took note of names of ANYone) kicked in properly then it was quite obvious that they were there to party!

When we started our first set several young lady guests took charge of the mic and Tony’s hat!!

The roving mic seems to bring out the performer in a lot of people and “sing-along-with-Mojo” is fast catching on at gigs now! Brick in the Wall being one of the favourites!!

Great gig, great disco (wish I knew their names – if you read this, guys – drop us a line/comment!), great people and many thanks to the family for asking us to play! Best wishes to the bride and groom!

Oh – the sound limiter never budged once!! And Tony’s hat just survived being passed round several young ladies!

(Ps – apologies for not remembering names!)
