Thanks to the Towler

Many thanks again to the staff and management at the Hark To Towler, Tottington ( nr Bury) for another fun night last Friday 26th Aug - plenty of good feedback (from the audience that is), great sound, interesting smoke machine, and just that home-spun friendly atmosphere !

Ant & Steve were having a trilling contest
There were some firsts -

Playing Free At Last live for the 1st time ( 3 years after recording it - it took that long to learn how to play! - let's face it - playing one odd time-signature can be tricky - but 3 at once is fairly scary - for musos amongst you - Stu & Dave are playing in 7, Ant is playing in 7 and in 4 at the same time,whilst Michelle is singing in 4, ands Steve is playing various parts in 7, 5 and 3. It provokes some interesting effects on your inner ear - don't try this at home folks!)

Also Pteradactyl ( with a silent pee ) was premiered - only a few weeks after Stu and Michelle put the format together. Check out those french-sounding Keys/Gtr harmonies !

Last but not least - Stu & Dave carried out their Drum 's'Bass mega duel on stage for the first time. The vibrations nearly lifted the bar off its hinges !

Happy Birthday to Dave the bass - more pilsner all round !
