An afternoon performance at Butlins after a late night getting home from Burnham(not good!)we were a little road weary to say the least. Skegness has a great load in facility so we used this to our advantage and took all our own backline into the venue so as to set the scene so to speak. We were the first band on in centre stage of the afternoon performances and were on a wing and a prayer hoping our voices would kick in and deliver. Steve one of the sound engineers,and a vital member of the crew at centre stage had done a wonderful VT intro for us to come onto using old film footage of The Beatles themselves and the legions of fans going nuts etc,it was great,and as Ed Sullivan introduced us the curtains came up and....we needn't have worried it was pure adrenalin,we were on fire,the voices kicked in and we rocked!!!! What a response,absolute knock out,the audience were fantastic and very loud, i've got to say of all the times we've performed at Butlins over the years,this has got to be one of, if not the best crowd reaction we've ever recieved!!! The room was jumping when it came to 'Hey Jude' and the singing was deafening,a great feeling of acheivement came over us as with cries of "more more" we sang 'Twist and shout' as the encore and the guests were ecstatic. We'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful reception we got,and thanks to all the sound and lighting crew for doing a fantastic job as usual,nice intro Steve,thanks a million!!!
