We've been there and done that!
THanks to all that came. It was a great night - so good to see so many familiar faces amongst all those who came for the first time.
Here's a video of Pretty Woman
The date is 19th September 2008. The Rumour take over St Matthew's, Walsall and go 'all out' with their eclectic mix of funk, pop and rock. Are you going to join them?
Enough of the fake voiceover-type script, let's get to the point.
St Matts in Walsall are having a festival during September and we're going to be playing a gig in the church. (Hmm, sounded better as a voiceover).
Still, it's at 7.30pm and it'll cost you 2 of your English pounds to get in.
Well that’s all from us. We’ve completed our residency at Café Uno, and will be sad to leave the shed of funk and go back to work on Thursday. It was great to see so many faces coming night after night, and even better when they were dancing like eejits. We’d like to thank so many people for making our time here as good as it was.
Thanks go out to
The Café Uno team – your coffee, tea and cake was great, and the dancing was even better!
Sam, our sound engineer – for keeping us sounding as funky as possible and not letting us get too carried away with the volume levels. We look forward to working with you in the future (if we’re invited back for another year!)
The production team for keeping us laughing with tales of whipped nuggets, the use of their stores and for getting the stage built so quickly on the first day.
We’ve already mentioned it, but the catering for the teams is really second to none – thanks guys for your hours of prep work, cheese grating and what must be the world’s biggest pile of washing up.
So, that’s all from us. We’ll be back in the future, with more blogtastic blogs for you.
Last night was our best gig here at Soul Survivor Stafford. Not that we’re here to be arrogant, the crowd told us, they did the Love Train inside and outside of Café Uno. It was like a giant train-like conga!
The gig was almost postponed as we fell victim to prank after prank by the production crew. They decided that they’d had enough of our clothes-rail taking up valuable space in their stores, and decided to put their forklift to good use by hoisting it 20foot in the air while we were sound checking! Thanks guys, hope you enjoyed your cookies!
During our break we ran over to the main meeting venue and caught 10 minutes of onehundredhours. They were certainly up to their normal high standards. We caught up with Mark Prentice afterwards – who remembered us from when we supported them a few years back. It was good to see you again too, guys.
Some very weird things happened tonight. We played well, but not with much luck on the dancing front. We were defeated by the weather – it was really hot and sticky and people were tired after night after night of dancing, shouting and singing! The people who came to the Big Uno were played a different mix of funk and rock – something to sit and drink coffee to.
After the gig – we signed photos, albums and a shoe in the Toolshed. Goodness knows why the lad wanted his shoe signed, but thanks for giving us a laugh! You will always be our first shoe-signing, Josh…
