Pub Rock's Coming Home For Christmas

We've had some rum old gigs in the village over the years. Some have been triumphant, others less so. Some have been packed, others less so. Some have been sober, others less so. Some even hinted at genuine musical prowess and others, well, you get my drift...

But we really wanted this one to count. It was pretty much four years to the day that we debuted in the very same corner of the very same pub. A lot has gone on since. The main differences were that this time around, we had a shitload more gear to set up, a real dilemma about how we were going to get the set down to under 2 hours, flashy lights and special effects, daft hats and a dress code, and, in case you hadn't heard, a Christmas Single to launch...

December 2007...

The village people didn't let us down. They turned out in droves, the Thorverton Arms was fuller than it had been in many a moon. Moods were elevated by the sense of occasion and the free, vibe inducing mince pies and quality street.

We played, by and large, a stonking couple of sets.  Inevitably, the curfew was thrown to the four winds, largely as a result of the frenzy whipped up by our sexy Christmas Cowgirls, who led the crowd through not one but two singalong-an-Oh christ it's christmas-es.

November 2011...

We finished with a big ol' go at Won't Get Fooled Again which brought, like Bernie's milkshake, all the girls to the yard, who, in their youth and loveliness were more distracting than any exploding amps and breaking strings could ever be. At least Bunting was smiling.

So, a lovely time was had by us all, the single is well and truly out there, and we're counting down to the festive season like 5 year olds. Buy the single here or here! Or both!

We love you lot.

See ya down the front!
