First gig from Norcsalordie was at the Bewicke Arms in Hallaton Leicestershire. Paul, Martin and their friend Tim were out for a drive and a jolly and found this pub running a karaoke so they thought they'd give it a shot. They went down so well that the landlady turned off the karaoke and asked them to play for the rest of the evening

They had several paid gigs there before the pub changed hands and now it would appear from the Leicester CAMRA website that the pub has closed

First 'gig' for Martin would have been a school talent show where he performed Eric Bogle's Nobody's Moggie solo in front of the entire school complete with toy cat as a prop. Please don't tell him I posted this !! :-)
