A very uneventful journey saw us arrive for the first time at this venue,on arrival we seeked directions to the showbar from reception. The load in was not a pleasant one(steps,steps and more steps!!!!).We'd been made aware that this was a caravan owners event and that we were on this night with another band who had just beaten us to the load in,they were on stage setting up as we brought our belongings in. It really was in my opinion a bad idea to have two live bands on the same stage as it was very cramped and leads were everywhere(who ordered spaghetti?) Anyway after some deliberating and shuffling around we managed to fit both of us on.The other band in question 'The merseybeat legends' were on first,and they did a great job reproducing some of the early beat classics from the sixties,top job lads!!! As soon as they'd finished they emptied as much off stage as poss and then we were on. It wasn't our usual type venue but we got a good response all the same,with a few getting up to dance(always difficult when you have small children with you)and getting them all to clap and sing a long(hey jude never fails!!!!)It was just one short set so as fast as we went on,we had finished and the dreaded steps were looming again(Noooooooo!!!!!).We soon had our stuff back in the van and we were on our way.Pleasure to work with The merseybeat legends,very enjoyable show all round!!!!!!!
