lets just say i had a few run ins with the corner flag owner when i ran the seventy3 buses.

as for gigs your totally right, no advertising at all and expect the band to do it themselves and bring 50 people with them.

sorry but its Greens for us now playing, and in a couple of months doing a one off at Life Of Riley on a saturday night which will be lively ill say the least

Hotter than hell that little stage.

Possibly out for a meal but if not I'll see if the lads fancy a look down.

:lol: :lol: I really wouldn't be. How's your cover of She Sells Sanctuary? 😛

Separate Ways gets a bit of a hammering because it's more guitar driven n ya can get away with it without the keys - and probably one of Perry's less taxing vocals. Ya see it a lot on the club circuit. I'd like to see someone give Wheel In The Sky a go - not be easy to sing though and might fall flat being a less popular one.

Livin' On A Prayer segued into You Give Love A Bad Name cos the singer can't handle the key change... please fuck off. :lol:
 
Was in a couple month back. Looked like it had just been reopened. Was nice . Was looking for a game of pool but they never had the table anymore

More chance of sunderland winning the league than us playing that song haha.

aye its so hard at times to find the right song. we are sometimes too much of a perfectionist so weve learnt songs some more technical than others and tested them at gigs, if they dont get the reaction we want we drop them and move to the next.

Unfortunately, Joe Public like the basics and deviating from them doesn't always work. We used to do Little Sister by QOTSA and the only place we ever got any kind of reaction to it other than blank stares was in the Angel. Play shit like Dakota or Sex On Fire and they gan down a bastard storm nee matter where ya are.

youd be very surpised recently with that last comment.

Ive seen and know venues and promoters who publicly slate bands who play them. i wont say her name, but one lass who books some bands does a live facebook stream anytime she sees a band play them songs and its bombarded with comments from others saying theyll not go and see them anymore. Plus depends on the venue. playing a venue where people go specifically to listen to music (greens in town, voyager or trimmers in sheilds, mallard seaham etc and you play any of them songs and youd be heckled on stage (seen it happen thankfully not to us) as they want to hear things different.
However if your gonna play a deadend dump where people go not for the music but to get mortal then yeah they will probs work......its been fortunate enough for us that we have the demand where were able to blacklist those venues and choose the ones we want where we get followings and biker festivals
