Can't remember how I got the gig, but for a couple of years in the late 1970's I played for the punters on a train excursion organised by a nightclub called Platform One in Bristol. A circular tour of the Bristol train tracks with plenty of strawberries and other snacks. When we got back to the nightclub there was a huge container of Black Velvet in the entrance. Just get a glass, dip it in and carry on playing! I'm sure the music by the end of the night was rubbish but everyone was so blitzed they didn't care. Ah! Those were the days!
