With The Fleetwood Festival running over the next 3 days, I made a decision a while back to bring something new and different to the venue,. Were they different or what !!!!
Totally surprised everyone, who were expecting to see and hear a covers band.
A fair turnout, considering the number of bands and venues in the town tonight. A couple of numbers to get the levels right and the band launched into an impressive first set. One local (with Carling soaked brains asked why no Spice Girls) but for the most part the crowd were attentively listening to every catchy hook. By now the muppet was up, dancing and seemingly having a good time ( though I doubt he will remember much in the morning) First set over and during the short break in came a bunch of Morris Dancers, Can we do a sword dance Mate? Sure but you have to stop and catch the 2nd set. Which to be fair they did ( I even saw two of them tapping their feet).
Band back on and a well crafted 2nd set got underway including the soon to be released single "Look into my eyes". The crowd were now totally hooked by the band and maybe word had got out as more folks came in. A faultless evening of original material,played effortlessly by 4 of the nicest people I have ever met.
Mingling afterward, I had so much good feedback that I felt the risk in putting on an originals band in what is usually a rock venue was more than worthwhile.
A privilege to have them at The Oak. Give yourselves a massive pat on the back for a gig well done.
Thanks to Janie,Paul,Lynn and Guy for everything. See you at the Launch.
