The blog has been very quiet recently. It's not right, you know. Mind you, there a very good reason for it. We'd been booked for the inaugural 'T in the Dark' festival in the windswept beauty of West Stratton. And a small problem had arisen. Quentin the drummer was unavailable. He would be away at a conference discussing 'organisations believing in integrated transitional projections, while needing to get on-message about thier third-generation contingencies.'
A drummer was needed. Up steps Tai to fill the breach. However, volunteering to learn three hours' worth of hits from the Sixties right up to the present day is not to be taken lightly. Especially for one so young as Tai. And there were moments during the weeks of rehearsals when it seemed that the task may be proving just a bit too much.
However, we should have had no concerns at all. All the phenomenal effort that she put in paid off handsomely, as, after only a few bars of the first song, it became obvious that she was going to be fine - more than fine, bloomin' marvellous. In fact, as soon as this became apparent, we all played our socks off. We over-ran the 11pm finish time handsomely, and no-one cared. A great evening.
One day, when the Rock Gods decree that we need a new name, we need look no further than what was written on the stage on Saturday: Fish Salad Bar 2.
Setting up in the afternoon........
The Thomas Lord Old Gits in full cry.....I think. They can be recognised by their shirts. I think Dave and Tai are there somewhere!
