As I say I didn't know till Wednesday night at the Falcon when John Gibney called in to ask us to help them out......

I posted it Thursday - then met up with John and Sue Friday night - to put some backings together (John & Sue couldn't get their band together it was such short notice!) - from the sounds of it there wasn't much notice! - but I'm sure John and Sue will have done everything within there means to have saved the acoustic section - this showed on the day...

If it hadn't have been for John Bond (t'ther half Penny Black) having been taken ill and spending time in hospital - which resulted in us having to cancel a block of gigs - we wouldn't have been able to have gone...

Let's hope that next year the local council will realise that they need to support such events and the general public enjoy them -

I went past the Band Stand yesterday (Kings of Swings event) and once again the area was full of people enjoying themselves.

Of course the only people who will contact the council will most likely be the ones who will complain the boating pool was drained - not the ones who enjoyed it....   sod's law!


cheers - Pete
