Fantastic gig last night - lovely venue, stunning evening, welcoming crowd, bride and groom looking blissfully happy. And, despite the late start (which upped Dave's F-factor somewhat) and the lack of Faireys, I think we played our socks off.
Other highlights included Tod's desperate appeal for help from a young person when confronted with the control panel of one of those new-fangled I-pod thingies.
Probably best not to mention the intimate item that Tod thought was a rather large party popper of absorbent foam and cardboard construction. It certainly failed to go off when he pulled the string.
Welcome to the website of the Thomas Lord Old Gits, mid-Hampshire's answer to Chumbawumba and Earth Wind and Fire, except that we're not an anarchic workers' collective, we're not American, and we do covers.

Another gig
News via Todtxt: another gig possible, August 14th, somewhere Hayward's Heath way. Not ideal for the drivers of combine harvesters, but no doubt, thanks to Global Warming, we'll have finished harvest by then. Or not started. Or both.

Rehearsal, 12th April
Very noisy rehearsal - we had a call from a Mr. Ahmed in Basra asking to turn it down a bit.
A new gig near Chichester was confirmed for 16th July - there might be an issue with some band members who didn't realise that that date was a possibility, never mind that the 17th was a certainty. No names, no pack drill, but here's a picture of Matt.
A suggestion was made that we could do with an uber-disco number. 'We are family' by Sister Sledge, or Chic's 'Le Freak' or 'Good Times'?

Gangster Party in the Thomas Lord pub.
Another smoooooth bass line being pumped out by Dave.
'Small Hands' Charlie on his huge organ. Seems to checking the dodgy connection in the back of the PA while simutaneously thrashing out an augmented F sharp minor eightth/Gdim.

Dan, Tod and Jesse all suitably attired, and John, who made the perfectly understandable mistake of mis-reading the invite as 'Hawaian Beach Party'.
A great honour to be performing under the benevolent gaze of Thomas Lord himself.

Rehearsal, 5th April
Slightly noisier rehearsal - Dan, Jesse, Tod, Matt and Charlie present, along with Anthony standing in for Dave on bass. Didn't swear as much though.
10th July gig ruled out.
