Got a gig today

[Johnny Mac]

I've got a gig today with the Ian Dury band I'm in called Dury Service. It's our first one and my first proper gig so I'm a bit nervous but looking forward to it a lot. We're only on stage for a short while and we're doing 6 songs. I'm going to use my Feline custom Lion and get me Koch out in public!  :lol:
It's at a classic car show in Enfield called 'The Enfield Pageant Of Motoring' late afternoon time.  :D

[Philly Q]

Excellent!  Been practising your Wilko psychotic stares and stage moves? (I can't say Chaz Jankel stage moves, because I don't know what they're like...)

Hope it goes well.  :D

I wouldnt worry mate ...im sure the rest of the band will be in awe of your Koch :D

Great name for an Ian Dury tribute. What songs are you doing ?

[dave_mc]

good luck :) Excellent pun in the band name, too :D

[Johnny Mac]

Well that went down well. We had them all dancing! :-)

We did
Sex & drugs & rock & roll
If I was with a woman
What a waste
Reasons to be cheerful
Wake up & make love with me
Hit me with your rhythm stick

[Plenum n Heather]

Nice!

Great stuff Johnny.  I guess you have a great bass player there.  I was a big fan of Ian Dury's stuff.  I used to have a Kilburn & the High Roads LP (along with Hatfield & the North - road sign bands).

A bit late here but I am glad it went well Johnny. Great songs and I am sure the crowd would love 'em.

I managed to get some video from a phone in the audience and do a couple of uploads to YouTube  :)

They had a collection at this stage for the Help For Heroes charity and got a lot of generous donations from the public. Which was a nice thing to do I thought.

Yes my mate from school Colin plays the bass. He is good. Funnily enough the playing fields we were on backs on to our old school :)

Shame the sound wasn't a bit better, but it gives a great idea of the crowd reaction.  Looks like you guys went down really well.  I'm sure you all had a great time.

It was only a cheap PA but better than nothing. Yes we all had a good time :-)

I like that, but I had a fable for Ian Dury back in those days, so I'm not objective.  :)

Brave to tackle the Blockhead's stuff with one guitar, no keys. no horns but it sounds good. I saw The Kilburns support Golden Earring early 70s - about the oddest pairing I ever saw.
