Not trying to catch you out
Thanks for everything you do 👍
 

Saw the bad in greens meh, one in Tilleys ok.

I really shouldn't be saying this, but The Smash Hits band are the best I've seen on the recent pub circuit. Five piece, singer spot on, drummer drove the band, bass player and male singer very good, guitarist reigning himself in from going full metal, keyboard player, would have been a credit to a Fleetwood Mac band.

They are back in November, see them.

Blue moon were a little too country for me, was like every song they did was in the style of the Eagles, still canny though.
Couldn't agree more. Think they'll probably be viewed as a bit of a novelty.

Enjoyed seeing four guitarists mind.

Double D is now booked once a month now in Greens. If you saw the fella getting ejected by the door staff in Vault yard, the same fella had just been thrown out of greens for being sick on the dance floor in front of Danielle 😆
