Back at Minehead again for another installment of the concert tour. Arriving early we loaded in quickly, sorted out our accomodation for the evening then went backstage to prepare for the show. We weren't sure if we would be able to perform our normal quota of songs as Darren(Lennon in the band)was really ill so we were making a contingency plan just in case. We set our backline in position on stage and executed the usual line check. The curtains opened to a reasonable sized audience and we started with the normal two opening songs. The crowd clapped and cheered,i think with this and the excellent monitor engineers they have at Minehead Darren was able to produce a great show even under the circumstances. We worked hard at the audience and soon enough they were singing and clapping along to songs such as 'Can't buy me love' and 'Yellow submarine'(always a winner with the younger ones). We have noticed that some of the younger members of the audience are now singing along word for word to most of the songs, i put this down to the release of The Beatles 'rockband' game which is aimed at introducing the Beatles to newer and younger audiences and which we had the privilege to be chosen as the band to be play at the Liverpool launch. Another show came to a close and we left stage to great applause,we packed down,loaded up the van,headed for our chalet and settled down,it had been a HARD DAYS NIGHT!
