First time at this venue so didn't know what to expect when we got there. We arrived to find to an easy load in,into what was quite a small but very nice venue. We were looked after very well by the staff who greeted us with coffees and teas and plenty of sandwiches(very kind thank you). We set up and sound checked then made ourselves scarce. The Gentleman in control came to see us and asked if during the interval we could leave one microphone switched on as he'd invited a local comedy duo to do a brief set in between our two sets,of course this was no trouble. We started our first set with caution as some of the clientelle were fairly senior and we didn't want to blow their heads off,we needn't have worried they were straight on the dancefloor and danced the whole set(really quite shocked as we didn't expect that!!!). We hurried back to the changing room to get changed where we stumbled upon the comedy duo(i wish i had caught their name),well...i've never seen anything quite like them,two older fellows,one dressed smartly the other looked like a bag of rubbish tied in the middle,we changed quickly and went to watch them perform. Fantastic,absolutely hilarious they went down a storm(well done chaps). Soon we were back on stage and we had a great night which was good considering Darren was beginning to feel the full brunt of the cold he'd picked up. The crowd were on top form everyone had a fab night,and we received some wonderful comments from many of the guests. Overall a very enjoyable evening for all involved,hopefully we'll get to do it again sometime!!!
