Instead of having a Monday night rehearsal (half the band had gone off to rehearse with someone else, anyway), the senior members (by age, not talent) went off to the Tichborne Arms to confirm the end of March gig and, ahem, check out the venue. We were lucky to still have the booking; our generous host had checked the diary, seen an entry (not made by him) for 'Thomas Lord Old Gits' for Friday 30th March, and assumed that we were an OAP Rambling Group. Thinking, therefore, that he had no band for that night, he then booked The Gheckos (spelling?). It was only later that he found out that we are, in fact/allegedly, a musical troup, and not a rucksack-wielding group of orange juice drinkers, and the poor old Gheckos had to be dropped...
Anyway, it'll be a tight fit, but should be fun.
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.
