Charity Night at East Stanley WMC on 2 October 2010...

...plus music from The Trojan Eaters.



We've had this gig in our diary for a while. I was going to give more details about it a bit nearer the time but the organisers have just contacted us because apparently tickets are already selling pretty quick. They're a bit worried about having to send people away if they turn up on the night and there's no tickets left!

The night is in aid of the Dunelm Phab Club which encourages people with and without physical disabilities to come together on equal terms, to achieve complete integration within the wider community.

So, to avoid disappointment and to help us support this great cause then make sure you contact one of the following to get hold your tickets...

01207 232502 - East Stanley Club
07812 186639 - Jeff Armstrong

Thanks everyone and hope to see you there!

Half a century...

(...and not out, of course!)

Well, if I've added it up properly then I reckon we played our 50th gig last night.

We were at the Ox Inn in Stanley and we had an amazing night. That's the first time we've had people climbing up on each others shoulders during the set - it was like our own little Glastonbury! We'll have to make sure we book into places with high ceilings if that is going to continue!?

Huge thanks to everyone who came out last night and made it such a great night...it was a great turn out - (and the same goes, of course, to anyone who's been out to support us in any of our previous 49 gigs!)

And finally, a massive thank you to Julie for coming along again and singing a couple of numbers with us - totally unrehearsed. She was absolutely amazing, of course...just those 4 blokes behind her were a bit ropey!

This Saturday, 17th April, is our birthday!!!

Well, sort of...it's the anniversary of our very first gig and we're marking the occassion with a gig at The Clock in Hebburn. If you're in the area then why not come along and help us celebrate?

Or, if you can't make that, you could always drop in to The Black Bull where we're playing on Friday (16th). That's right - The Black Bull that just happens to be the same venue of that first gig, where it all started a whole year ago!...

We're all PAT'ed

Recently, a couple of venues have insisted on all our gear being PAT tested before we could play there and we ended up having to turn the gigs down. So we decided to bite the bullet & get it sorted.

We got someone to come round last week with their tester and they went through all our gear. What with all the equipment, extension leads, power leads, etc, we ended up with over 50 items on the list! (I'm sure we don't use half of them!?) But they've all been properly logged and tested now, each with their own little green sticker on.

Of course, we've always taken great care of our gear and we would never use anything if we thought it posed any danger...but at least now it's official.
