A Song and A Sandwich with DLT!

Blog time again. We're already at the very end of January and what a busy couple of weeks we've had! Following on from some excellent gigs at the start of the month, 22nd January found us with the wonderful Dave Lee Travis doing an interview and live session for his BBC Three Counties Radio Sunday Morning Show. We had a great time with him - laughed a lot and he makes an extremely good cheese and tomato sandwich in his own home-baked bread! He really is the consummate professional: made us feel very welcome, relaxed and special - I know that's his job but he does it SOOO well! He said some lovely things on air too about our music especially 'Song for a Boy' - a little acapello number inspired by our children - which gave us a real boost . A few days later we were back in the Hertfordshire area to play at The Horn Music Venue in Victoria St., St Albans. What a fab little venue this is! Live music seven nights a week (we need more places like this) so it attracts a listening audience, people who have come for the music. We had a really good night sharing the evening with a lovely singer songwriter and a very Bowie-sounding, very tight band called The Underdogs. They're going to be playing at the King Charles pub, Thames St, Poole Quay on 11th March. Get along to see them. Anyway, we felt we'd played a pretty good, interesting set including Song for a Boy which we'd promised DLT we would perform. He'd predicted that the whole place would go quiet. And it did. And then I thought 'Oh my God, it's all gone quiet! Supposing I cock it up?' But I didn't! And it was really well-received by the audience. We finished the night off with an excellent kebab from the Kebab house just round the corner. Back in the bus. Home at three. Had to wake my sister up to let us in because we'd forgotten our key. Sam and Dave borrowed a sofa each. Great gig!
Since then, we've really been concentrating on our forthcoming charity gig for the Motor Neurone Disease Association on Friday 10th February. (See gigs page for details) We are so delighted and touched by the enormous goodwill this event is receiving. Mel and Dan can hardly move for raffle prizes - and we're still getting more - and tickets are selling extremely well. Our warmest thanks to everyone for their support.
Don't forget we're at the Tudor Rose in Romsey this Saturday. Hope to see you there!
