Another rocking night at The Red Lion!

The Lion's Den.Red Lion - Hockley, Birmingham. 26th February 2005

So we went back to our old haunt , after our travels to Walsall and it is good to report that this gigged rocked!

We were supposed to be getting help from another drummer for this gig, but that didn't work out and once again the ever helpful Mr. Rushbury stepped into the breach.

Thanks so much Ian, you did a sterling job.We all played our proverbial socks off, despite having a drunk attempting to "dance" to every tune right in front of us!

A bit off putting , but hey he was enjoying it. We had a short break and continued by which time our "distraction" had gone! So we continued on our merry way!

Great sound and loads of applause for some of the covers and our own stuff,particularly "Inside" (seems Andy Thorpe of Ethel Vince liked this one) and "Falling Down" and a swinging "Pretty Little Head". Sterling support came from our mates Ethel Vince (who Mark jonied for "Breathe") ,who played a great set again.

Unfortuntely Cat Chinn couldn't make this gig.

We appreciate those of you who turned up on a cold night to see us, thanks so much.

PS: Don't forget to sign our guest book. we want to get to know you.
