Chapter 1 - The Plan

E-mails circulated with great ferocity leading up to the gig; there was an agenda from start to finish. Every detail covered, every eventuality catered for. Clockwork would be an understatement.

Chapter 2 – The Reality

The boys were up against it due to a late set off, not to worry the van made up good time on the motorway, flat out, pedal to the metal. 75mph down hill. Found Linstock no problem, who needs Tom Tom when you’ve got Don Don.

Arrived at the venue and set up like lightening. Must have been a special occasion as the drum riser with crushed velvet made an appearance. The string section arrived halfway through and got stuck in.

Chapter 3 – Who’s Round?

The band had come into the possession of several free drinks cards.

With a free bottle of champagne (I say champagne, I think it may have been Blue Nun put through a soda stream) we sat down and admired the view.

Chapter 4 – Where’s Jumbo’s Food?

We had been promised food and nothing appeared. Jumbo was becoming very anxious at the thought of not getting fed.

Next thing we know it was to the pub next door ‘order what you want it’s on the house’ you beauty.

Chapter 5 – First set

All went swimmingly, Paul was in heaven, I’ve never heard so many women screaming Paul’s name, apart from that time when he ‘accidentally’ wandered into the girls changing rooms.

Chapter 6 – Second set

The pinnacle was during Caroline, Donny took over the drums and Vinny, Paul, and Neil performed a perfectly executed ‘pile on’ at the front of the stage.

Chapter 6 – Pack up and to the discothèque

One of the quickest drunken pack ups ever performed, hopefully all the gear still works, there was a little mishap where the amps mixer and effects took a tumble but should be reet.

Chapter 7 – Club, food, Wi bad

Hit the night club

Hit the pizza shop

Hit the Wii

Hit each other

Hit the bed 06;00 Good Night

 

These are the times we’ll (try to) remember
