The Kings Arms at Heaton on Friday was my first time there. The Band's first gig for a couple of weeks too. This time it was Paul and Norm in the line-up. The venue is an interesting blend of people, with a good atmosphere and quite an old-fashioned feel about the place.
The set went down a storm, and we'll be back there in August.

Sunday afternoon was Fernandes Brewery Tap for the 2nd time. This being a pub with an even older feel to it, something quite unique in fact. The first set was better than expected and the 2nd slightly worse, leaving me pretty tired by the end. (I'd worked Saturday night with Atlanta Fuckin' Soul in Northwich). The first had mainly listeners, some good responses and a couple of album sales. The 2nd had less listeners and more of a couldn't-care-less attitude. I'm known for dwelling on the handful of bad gigs I've had rather than the many good ones, so let's approach it 'half-full' rather than 'half-empty' and say it was a good gig based on the first set.

It might not seem much but it was a very busy week. I managed to virtually complete another Paradise Street track (myspace page still to follow!) and follow-up the usual round of printing, phone-calls, gig hustling and twats who run two pubs which host bands in Brighouse and Northowram.
