Great first gig last night at The Cooking Pot at The Opium Den Switch Fringe Fest !

What fun was had by all!
With a huge thanks to Sapphire Rox https://www.facebook.com/AgentBurlieque  who had organised the whole event.
The set up went well.
We went outside for a quick photo shoot...
Then we were up, up, up and away... as the old song goes.



Half way through the set.... Drama! The bridge on Harry's double bass snapped.
   "Not to worry!" he said. "I'll just pop along to the Spread Eagle up the road and borrow one from a mate who's playing there later." And off he popped.
  "Tell them a story!" quipped Steve Rudd. So I did. A little tale of Red Riding Hood, with atmospheric twanging on the guitar. -"It's good to put those hours of experimenting up in the bedroom (with the guitar... ) to some use," he said.
In no time our young Harry was back, friends instrument cradled in his arms; I would love to have seen the looks on peoples faces as he sprinted up Tacket Street.
 Soon we were back on track, strummin our stuff and gettin on down with the rock n roll beat.
Everyone seemed to have a good time and we are looking forward to the next gig at the Norbridge Social Club on 21st September.
