Mojo - Classic Rock

My apologies folks, just got time to apologise for lack of updates here.
Yes at last I have got off my backside and put other work to one side to try to catch up here!

September – What an excellent month with some great fun gigs! Well – we thought so! No doubt we would be told if otherwise!

• 4th – We visited the Arrow in Yeovil. What an excellent venue! New to us and a great place to play.
• 5th – Excise House, Weymouth. Always a pleasure to visit this venue.
• 11th – The York Inn , Exmouth. This place is alway busy busy!! Great people and great fun!
• 18th – Winyards Gap – between Crewkerne and Dorchester. Toby and Michelle made us welcome and the locals are a great bunch of folks – look forward to going back on Christmas Eve!
• 19th – Golden Lion, Weymouth. What a night!! Not sure what got into the folks down here – we had a great night! Busy busy!!!!
• 26th – The Squirrel Inn at Laymore on the Somerset Dorset border. A new one on us and a private party! great fun and excellent venue to play!

Well – that’s September gigs and we had a fun month. Many thanks to all involved!

Sunday came in a “little” damper than Saturday – in fact it poured down at times and it’s such a shame when you get down to Poole Quay, at the Lord Nelson, to see the guys out on the front doing their act. Congratulations guys for sticking it out in the weather…

Yes we were down in Poole, filling in for a band unable to turn up. What an excellent afternoon it turned out to be as well! I guess the rain kept more people IN the bar than outside – Thanks to the Lord Nelson for getting in touch!

However – we did have to push off as soon as possible to get to Lyme Regis and the Royal Standard. Fog dropped down on us at Askers – only to be expected I guess!! However we got there and set up – what a great little venue!! We did have to strip down the gear a bit to fit in but the response was excellent! Thanks to Jess and the folks for a great evening.

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!

How remiss of me to not mention gigs in June in a bit more detail!! Still – I AM getting used to this!

Great start to June, despite the weather!

Excellent night at the Bikers gig at Gore Cross on 6th June. Was it really that long ago!

Amy Winehouse tribute was excellent as was the 70s Glam Rock band – Diamondogz an excellent night was had by all I would suggest!!

Wedding at The Lord Leaze Hotel Chard!

A week later we were playing at the Lord Leaze Hotel in Chard at an excellent wedding! The bride looked lovely and they all danced their feet off – including the 2 or 3 little ones who stayed the whole evening – I bet they were done for the next day! Thank you for an excellent evening.

The Westgate Inn, Taunton

First gig at this Inn for Mojo in its present form and what a great evening! We look forward to a gig with the Westgate again as soon as possible!
