1/08/09 The Crown Inn, West Bay Road. Great evening with a great pub! Simon runs an excellent centre for local live music and his website shows a great listing of local band talent….and people who visit the Crown clearly love live music – we had a great time and look forward to the next visit!!

Thanks for a GREAT evening!

Busy weekend last few weeks through May

Well, last few weeks turned out to be a busy ones!

2nd May – Tanners in Bridport. Wild night in here – always a pleasure to play this venue. It seemed to be an evening when not much else was going on and most of Bridport ended up here! Great night!

8th May – Quicksilver Mail in Yeovil – party time here as there were two events on at the same time. Busy or what!!

10th May – Good to return to the seaside and the Excise House! There was a whisper that the sound police were in. Sure enough a guy with a noise thingy was wandering around all night. I think he actually liked what we did as well!!

Exmouth – always an excellent venue to play with great characters who love to get up and move it all around! The York Inn is near the town centre just off the front. We have never seen any trouble and I guess that’s down to excellent management with great door men. Always a late return home but always an enjoyable night!

Bradpole – The Kings Head. THIS little pub never ceases to amaze!! You arrive and start to set up while people are eating with families and all ages. First time I walked in I thought “We’re gonna DIE in here!” NOT so – this place heaves and the locals love our music. I guess they love a lot of music (!) but it’s always great to play where you get a good response and this is it!!

Great weekends and looking forward to more in all these venues!

I have to say that none of these venues have websites of their own, apart from one. Shame as they could be helped by just a little nudge on the net. Maybe I could introduce them to a local web designer!??

Mojo Classic Rock – How did I get here?

Mojo – a Classic Rock band that has been around for a few years. A trio of guys who love what they do!

Some two years ago I was asked by Tony, guitar and vocals if I could sit in while the resident drummer, Dave, was away. Well – apparently he got my name from an agent we used for a few years down in Weymouth. So – could I refuse? I think not!

Well for a couple of years I stood in when Dave was away. I started to get the taste for this!

Recently the drum stool came vacant, full time. Was I interested? Does the pope have a balcony? I should think so! So here we are in 2009 and loving it!

That’s all folks for now – go to the gig list if you want to know where we are next….Are we busy? I think so!
