Fondoo...and ensuing pub quiz!!??435 dagen geleden
 
That's right; the vast majority of you missed quite a spectacle last night....
No one would have believed that we managed to get Richard Burton to narrate this blog-no! But seriously, no one would have ever believed that the combination of half-rehearsed (if you were extremely lucky) songs and a complimentary Pub Quiz would ever match up to the standards of Ernie Wise and Eric Morcambe, or Amy Winehouse and tabloid papers, but....it kinda did!
On offer as the grand prize for such a quiz was none other than...THE GOLDEN TEAPOT, plus (more importantly, one could argue) a copy of our wonderful EP "We're Watching You"...which reminds me, I should stop plugging it so shamelessy, as we actually don't have any more copies to sell now :(
Anyhoo, 4 lucky people (2 of them, by sheer chance, happened to be parents of 'the group') won lovely goody bags, and for one Chris Shaw, the humble tea-break has been transformed into a carat-based thing of beauty!
Oh, yeah, and we played a set of 'pop tunes', virtually none of which we had ever played before ("It kinda shows that this is literally the first time we've ever played that!"). Details of aforementioned set can be found below.
Thanks to everyone who came :L , and let this be the beginning of a new (and, frankly, bizzare) direction for the band!

Set:
"Head On"-Jesus and Mary Chain
"Breathe"-Pink Floyd'; in memory of Richard Wright RIP
"Dead Butterfly Blues"
"Be My Baby"-The Ronettes
"Lovers or Friends...?"
"Hands (of Power)"-The Raconteurs/Buckethead

... why did it sound like you made it up as it came along? tbf it was a mess. why didn't you just play polcon stuff? It was embarrassing and I'll be very surprised if Fondoo will give you another gig. You had known for weeks that you were playing - why did it sound like you hadn't rehearsed anything? This was the most amateurish performance I have seen for a long time. I know you can do so much better.

You're right. BUT to be fair the reason we didn't get that many practices was coz we were away doing events, and if I was at home, then inevitably Pat would be away, and vice versa. Under those circumstances....it was still pretty poor-sorry to dissapoint; however with a bit of practice (and perhaps a few more personnel) we should be back up to standard :D
