Venue: The Blackfriar - Newcastle under Lyme
Other acts: Tez and friend, Rain.
The plan was to go to The Unicorn Open Mic night, via the Blackfriar in order to watch Tez (formerly of Discharge) doing his acoustic set. As things rarely go to plan, we watched Tez and friend doing various covers until they decided after about 8 songs that it was time for a break. Tez had motioned to Graeme earlier in the evening to "come up and have a go". So Graeme asked the bar staff if we could get up a "do" a set during the break. The staff were tremendously supportive and allowed us to get up and play. We played/sang all the songs in our current repertoire, to a rather surprised crowd. Not sure what they were expecting but it was encouraging again to receive warm applause and kind comments. The bar staff were enthusiastic with their praise and have encouraged us to try their open mic night, which is on a Tuesday, which we have agreed to do, once the other songs are finished.
Currently working on some original material and some other covers. Time to expand the repertoire and take over the world!! (I'm joking, of course!)...
