Thread Name: How Was Your St.Pat's Gigue?
Subject: RE: How Was Your St.Pat's Gigue?
We played a paying gig at an "Irish" pub in Stokenchurch,Bucks,on Sunday afternoon---Didn't do Danny Boy even once,but did a lot of other stuff,mainly,but not exclusively,Irish,of course. Had nice time (despite the rowdy TV -watchers !),got paid,had lots of free drinks,free food in the attached restaurant,and they want us back !Yes,they gave us those silly,unbearable "funny hats " to wear,but we managed not to use them !
Last night was different--We played our "home pub" in Marlow Bottom,and played for about three hours (including one "Danny Boy",I'm afraid). Sadly,the pub was too crowded and too hot,understaffed,and,unusually,the food was crap.Not looking forward to doing another gig there on Friday now !
