What's that? Double-header weekend? Why not!


So it’s the Monday after a mega double header weekend of gigs (still recovering), thought we’d give you a recap of the weekend’s antics:

Friday –Fox and Goose, Southport

We started off with a cheeky little warm up gig in Southport on Friday at the Fox and Goose - brilliant little venue.  After the local headline act pulled out we ended up being the main act which was a bonus. It was lucky that we had the drum kit in the van ready for our gig on Saturday otherwise we would have been driving back to Salford with our tails between our legs.

Anyway we met a proper top lad on our trip (Big David) who ended up squashing in the van for a lift home so he could catch our set instead of getting his bus ha ha. Turns out he's an awesome singer songwriter who also does an amazing version of Wonderwall (check him out at www.davidshurr.com). We’re gonna try and get him down for a Friday night session at the mill.

So we got on the world’s smallest stage around 11pm, it was difficult to really go for it without knocking everything over or ending up on the deck, but we got the locals dancing which was good.  We played a pretty much spot on set and managed to sell a fair few CDs. Got some decent offers for other gigs too. Cheers to everyone who watched us hopefully we will get up again soon.

Saturday – Night And Day Café, Manchester

On Saturday night we played Night and Day.  Apart from being a bit tender from the night before we arrived at the venue at 5pm for sound check, it’s a long day when you get on it that early and you’re not on stage until 11pm!
After chilling down stairs in the green room drinking all the free beer we ventured upstairs to a sold out venue with only 2 bar staff serving which didn’t go down too well with everyone.

We got on stage on time at 11pm and after an awesome little introduction of Mr Pete Boyle we kicked off with our song ‘Over’, it felt like the stage was massive after playing a tiny stage the night before but we got right on it and we all stepped it up a notch, the crowd was mega and it was defo our best gig to date.

We got loads of top feedback and hopefully picked up some new fans as well.

Got a couple of things to look out for in the next few weeks, we're going into the studio next weekend to record a new track and we have got a little bit of good news to announce very soon so make sure you keep an eye out for that.

Anyway to sum up it has been a top weekend and we just wanna say a massive thank you to everyone who came down to check us out. Hope you all had a good time and see you at the next one #WeGoAgain.
