It's all go.
There were five in Shed 3b on Monday. Anthony standing in for Dave again, Tod and Charlie in as usual (Charlie showing off another huge organ fnarr fnarr), John back from the States, looking a trifle jaded after drinking Business Class dry. Hot news was new drummer Ian, who emerged from the murky depths of Tod's 1998 address book waving some sticks, and fitted in fantastically at once. There was a magnificent Honky Tonk Women moment.
Welcome along Ian - let's hope you stick with us (geddit?).
Gig news. There's a jodhpur-based one (mmmm, nice) coming up very soon - VERY soon; Kilmeston have asked us back (although their first suggested date is not very Hunnisett-friendly). The Property Manager at Hinton Ampner House has asked us to provide music for the National Trust's Open Day in early July (I told him we weren't sure about travelling such huge distances) , and Charlie's niece has said a 90% 'yes' for us to play at her wedding in August. We'll be needing some ABBA for that last one, I'm afraid.
As young people say, it's all kicking off again.
Hurrah.
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.
