So it was another short hop down the road to Bramdean to do our second gig of the Jubilee wekend. We were in a huge tent that looks very likely to have been used at the coronation (of Queen Victoria) but was at least watertight. I should know - I popped down during the heavy shower that blew over late afternoon to check. We had a very jolly afternoon setting up, helped by two collies.
Here we see Dan's mutt in a nice reenactment of the 'HMV' logo, wondering where 'his master's voice' is coming from!
It was all a bit too much for Twiglet, who found a quiet spot to have a snooze. As for the gig itself; well, it was a sell-out. All the great and good of Bramdean were there. It took sometime (and a cool damp evening) for them to move into the tent and get dancing, but once they did, they did. We all thought we played rather well, and had a lovely time. The first public performance of 'Bad Case Case of Loving You' went very well, although 'Hey Joe' sort of crashed to an undignified ending. But no-one else noticed. I think.
Next week it's a far longer trip - to Privett!
