New years eve was here,and no better time for the local district council to dig up just about every road in Weybridge! Finding the venue was impossible every which way the Sat-nav took us was closed due to road works.We'd actually been in the area for 45 mins and still couldn't get to it! Anyway after several phone calls to the venue,many diversions and a few choice words we arrived much to the event organisers and our own relief. Fantastic venue,the grounds were immaculately kept and very scenic even on a cold freezing wintery night.We loaded in to what was rather a small venue and began to set up. After sound checking we made ourselves scarce while the guests had their meal etc. We were booked to perform twice on this night,and as with most events of this nature they usually run over the allotted time,this night was no exception,things were running around fifteen minutes late(which from experience was pretty good to be fair). We struck up and....oh my God,the dance floor was packed straight away,cant say i've ever seen a dancefloor fill up from nothing to solid in about 10 seconds....ever! They danced the entire set,with not a glimmer of sitting down,the joint was jumping! Due to the fact that the evening was running a little late,we barely had time to run off stage,have a quick drink and change costume before we were due back on and as soon as we kicked off again,the same thing happened,dancefloor was solid from start to finish,we had a great night. We finished our set at 5 minutes to twelve so the DJ could count in the new year......."Should old aquaintants be forgot....." And so it was.....the end of another year and the start of a new one(i'm sure they get quicker) We(the band) all shook hands and congratulated one another on a great show and indeed a great year. We'd like to say thanks to everyone for making it a fab night,and hopefully we can do it all again sometime.....see you in 2010......HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all!!!!
