A rare south-of-the river outing for the lads on Friday night
ended in controversary when the plugs were pulled halfway through
Football Beer and a Cigarette - it obviously being past the bed-time
of the whey-faced sound engineer. The night was marred by the
usual live-venue incompetance. Firstly the promoter didn't turn
up and there had obviously been no local promotion for the gig.
Secondly, money did not seem to be taken at mthe door as many
of the band's friends got in without paying. Finally after being
told they were to play for 45 minutes half way through the set,
the aforementioned engineer informed them they had time for just
two more songs. This was especially disappointing as the set was
going well and some new songs were about to be performed. In the
car afterwards John said expressed his disappointment with the
set's curtailment by the engineer whilst Will (who had been at
the whisky) wished he had hit the ****. "We'll never play there
again", added Will, who then went on a rant about Kingston in
general and the fact that parking wardens were giving ourt tickets
after 10 o'clock on a friday night. "I got one (a ticket) here
last year when I came to see Dollshouse at the Grey Horse", he
mused. "Where were Dollshouse anyway?" asked John. "Out enjoying
themselves, I hope."
