pauly comes out...

so.
last thursday we piled down to the full moon in newcastle under lyme. thats about all there is to say on the matter, except for another shout to the guys from a thousand wild flowers who opened up for us and were, as ever, absolutely fantastic and destined im sure, for much bigger and better things.

saturday night was a new one for us, at the queens head, situated in the sprawling derbyshire hamlet of belper. ace little venue - the pub itself seemed a cracking little boozer, but the gig itself was held upstairs in a kind of function room/bar-with-stage type affair.
to be honest i personally didnt have a great gig as i was struggling with sound and technical problems for my various strings, but that aside we really enjoyed the gig and hopefully went down ok.
would just like to extend not only our thanks to the queens head/music team but also our deepest sympathy for their loss [an integral member of the organising team had sadly passed away on that very day, and i understand the team had rallied under the adage 'the show must go on']. anyway, muchas respect to the belper crew and punters, thanks very much for having us and we would love to return sometime in the future...
and just to make something perfectly clear: the main man at belper is a charming fella by the name of Dick. some of you may have read a comment from our drummer Cara [who will be slapped], that i "prefer dick". yes, i did say that, HOWEVER, i was talking about my preference of the above individual - Dick, over another peak-district based music promoter [who shall of course remain anonymous] AND NOT my sexual persuasion. OK? OK...
