We did it!

We've just played a gig in Rushbury, Shropshire. The set up, as mentioned in our previous installment below, came off a treat. The unknown quantity 2CV turned out to be a very capable jazz quartet - and thoroughly nice chaps to boot. Other guests included our old friends and former bandmates Des Seal, Chris Cordwell and Dick Russell doing one single three song set of bonkers Capt. Beefheart type noodling. They call themselves Corky's All Day Breakfast, now.

Skewwhiff, as suspected have been getting tighter than ever before in the bars and venues of Worcester, since we last met and gave everybody a nice surprise. Local covers band Vlaadka also turned in a succession of creditable three song sets in rotation with everyone.



The bar ran dry of Woods rather tempting ales, as the audience became disorientated by the continual rotation of bands playing to them from various corners through the night. We managed four sets of three songs at a time. Each triptych showing more of the styles and genres our music comes in.

Door takings raised over £1000 for the school funds. Further cash was raised by a raffle in aid of the Haiti earthquake appeal.


Amazingly this evening was completely free of any prerecorded music, whatsoever! No in between bands records played. Not even an intro tape!
