Butlins,Skegness 13/12/2009

As we were the last act of the evening in centre stage at Butlins,we didn't have to arrive until around 8.30pm. Our on stage time was 11.45 for one short,sweet but hard hitting set. Butlins are set to do a production show in the new year based around The Beatles,and were looking for a suitable tribute band to feature,so to stand a chance of being in on the running we had to be good. We had doubts as to how many people would be left in the venue(a full house can dramatically enhance a performance)seeing as it was such a late time slot and the last day of a three day sixties festival,so armed with a full quota of our own backline(rather than 'in house' equipment)and crossed fingers that there was still an audience we got in position for showtime! "Ladies and Gentleman will you please welcome....The Beatles experience". We struck up full throttle,and as the curtains opened...wow...had to be a few thousand there it was jammed packed,this was a great sense of relief. We hit them with some good old rock n roll and they went wild,dancing and singing,pushing right up to the front of the stage to take photographs,the atmosphere was nothing short of electric,absolutely fantastic! All too soon it was over....had we done enough to secure a place in the forthcoming production? We got back to the dressing room and were immediately visited by management to say what a great show we'd done(ha! they'd seen us)we were in the running. We then got an email from our agent to say Butlins had been in touch that night to discuss possibilities,it's looking promising...... watch this space!!!!!!!
