A New Band Member?


It was a set of two halves at the Robin Hood on Friday.  A few "technical hitches" in the first set - resulting in the keyboards not coming through the p.a. for the first 5 or 6 songs (which is not necessarily a bad thing!?) and some annoying feedback that proved particular tricky to track down.

All that seemed to be forgotten in the second set...we had a great time!  'Dignity' went down particularly well...and even 'the suits' standing at the bar started dancing and singing along to 'Sit Down'!

The scary zombie man in the corner enjoyed himself so much I think he fancies himself as the fifth band member.  But what I want to know is which is better?  ...Scary Zombie Man or Crazy Bear?  In the words of Harry Hill - "there's only one way to find out!"

Sheep, Kids & Crazy Bears...


...are just 3 of the things The Trojan Eaters had to deal with at their show at Heather View Country & Leisure Park, Stanhope last weekend!

The sheep just seemed to be out for an afternoon stroll along the middle of the road on our way there!?

It seemed strange having kids in during the show. Slightly unnerving when they just stood at the front staring intensely at us when we first started but great to see them getting into it...especially the little girl with her face painted singing along to Chasing Cars. We also got some excellent feedback from some of the grown-ups as well. :-)

But the Crazy Bear takes the biscuit. I think we won him over eventually and he actually gave us a standing ovation at the end of our set. After that, he wouldn't let us leave without a couple of photos with the band!...

Steve & Dez with our No 1 Fan,
Ian & Tom and Crazy Bear.

PS - Could the person taking a video when we totally screwed up in The Cure number, please send in the offending equipment so we can make sure all evidence is destroyed! Thank you.
