Well I played a gig with the Sonic Boomers at The Toll House in St Albans and it was fun and went well. Worked out with encores we did about 2hrs and 30 mins last night. A bit knackered by the end. A Good gig, very spirited. Felt like the old days. The band is now getting pretty good live and its fun. It was a sports bar with snooker being played. A few gammon types plus a pub manager women who was a bit goth, plus the usual young lesbian contingent too though. Possibly gay bloke with a Halloween hat or maybe just a big Harry Potter fan?. They applauded and danced like Hobbits around the party tree. A Camelot<\/a> moment, little England but at its best it seemed.
I haven’t played a full gig in St Albans since about 2013 though I have been back a couple of times to do open mics and stuff. There is a paradox here, I felt knackered today but if I was gigging more regularly I think my body would be able to cope with it and I could be match fit. Judging by the last few band gigs I seen to have survived. Even playing outside in the cold the other week.

Here is one of my new songs:
