So it’s probably fair to say our expectations of the good folk of Winkleigh were reasonably high, after they failed to be put of by the monsoon-like weather conditions that accompanied last year’s performance and the carnage that followed several months later at the Seven Stars. Needless to say, we weren’t disappointed; the committee had gone all out to make this a year to remember, and as soon as the lads spotted the colossal stage area, and backstage area with chilled beer, a good night was on the cards.
Only problem was - the buggers wouldn’t let us stop! It’s fair game having one or two encores at the end of the night, this is expected. Returning to the stage for the fourth time, and with most of the equipment in a state of collapse, the only thing we hadn’t played was a completely unrehearsed version of ‘Won’t get fooled again’. Luckily the lads pulled off a blinder and went steaming off in the direction of the Exe valley with Winkleigh ringing in their shell-likes. See you next year!
