Bristol Gig & Nottingham Diary - Gaz Whelan
Friday 20th April 2007 (Gig Day)

We arrive at the venue around 8pm to find Bez 'Hermes' like wearing 'golden' footwear having his own party in the dressing room whilst a small CD player almost apologetically played the Trojan Reggae Collection. I say apologetically not because it was bad, it wasn't, in fact it was great, it was just that it was so low in volume even a Jack Russell dog would have had difficulty hearing it.

The gig was reminiscent of Mondays gig's back in the day, loud, frantic and chaotic. We over-run the strict curfew (another of our old tricks) so without any sound on stage because the venue killed the power, we re-played Angels and whores, one of the new songs. But without stage sound it's almost impossible so we declared halfway through. Good crowd, good buzz.

It was the first time Bez had heard the new tunes and he loved them, is important for us to get his seal of approval as he knows his music.
