......And from Bognor to Skegness! Although this being the longest drive of all three camps(some 5 hours from Bognor)it is a pleasant one as we know we're on the last leg and nearing home. We got to Skegness in great time and loaded in(Skeg load in is by far the easiest). We had a lot of time to kill so we went for a walk round,had a bite to eat and relaxed as we knew we weren't on stage till around 10.30pm. Soon enough showtime was upon us and as we readied ourselves the curtains came up to a packed room,it was heaving with people, just what we needed, we blasted into some good old rock'n'roll and the audience lit up, great response followed the first two songs. Once again a lot of the little ones in the audience were joining in with the words which is amazing to think it's forty plus years since The Beatles split up and yet still their music is as popular and universally known as it ever was. We played hit after hit and the crowd soaked them up with a ravenous thirst for more,getting them involved was a walk in the park compared with the other audiences we'd faced the two days before,and once a crowd goes for it,then then band hit top gear. A crescendo of cheers and applause ensued as we left the stage following an encore,it was a terrific night for all.Thanks to the backstage crew at all three Butlins resorts for the great job they do making our life easier,well done fellas,see you all soon!!!!
