All that rehearsal paid off, we played the songs despite nerves and people liked it! There were more applause than I think we have ever had and strangers cried for more. To say I am pleased would be an understatement. Of course you can't please everyone, but we pleased more people than we have before. There was only one heckler and his contribution was slight. And there were some people who insisted on talking right the way through the thing in loud voices really close to the stage, but that's not so bad. I just wonder why they bothered going to a pub to shout at each other. They talked all the way through Satori's set as well, so they were obviously just there for the decor.
Satori played another great gig, I really enjoyed listening to them, and watching the Satori Performance Drone (50s paedophile class) throwing some shapes. Thank you for the gig Satori people. Webmaster Mark kindly filmed the entire event with his fancy pants camera, so there should be some new images on the website when he has finished making art. So then you can stare at them and think to yourself "what a clean couple" or "I think they look polite" or "what a clean couple" or anything you want. But keep it nice. Jeebus is watching your thoughts and he will kill you dead if you think about girlies' dirty pillows or fetish wear.
I suppose, now that we know that the music will work live, we had better book some gigs. Thankfully Swansea is awash with places that favour quiet acoustic guitar featuring bands, which we can pretend to be up until Frictionless Bass starts smacking that big drum of her's. Swansea is also awash with acoustic guitars, but what can you do? I cannot afford a melotron.

you could always play a gig in Crewe, not to sound repetitive but it would be a good idea. There are less acoustic guitars up here and more people say "ey oop" instead of "hello". We now have a working lightbulb and both hot AND cold running water!!!
Sorry, I should have mentioned that we have no benches in Crewe, they were all melted down and turned into Garden Gnomes in the great Garden Gnome recruitment drive of '78.
Chotty - you have never looked like a paedo. If you sit on one of those kiddies tea cup rides, however, you may bear an uncanny resemblace to a boiled egg.
Maybe sitting on kiddies' rides would start rumours though, as people like Frick Man might get teh wrong idea and suggest that you look a bit dodgy.
I apologise for the terrible typing in that last post. I have my wrong fingers on today.
Maybe they're actually Monkeychops' fingers and that's why he struggled to play the keyboard the other night?
But Chotty does look like Donald Pleasance, you can't deny that..
He can see, he can see perfectly.
