THE DUCK AND DRAKE Leeds Sunday 14th MARCH 6.00pm start
Always a great gig for us boys at this fantastic pub, this is a 6.00 start so if you want to finish your weekend with a bang get yourselves down to this classic venue
THE BROADFIELD Sheffield
Last weekend was the start of our 9 gigs in 17 days for us starting on Friday at The Broadfield in Sheffield. This was our second visit to this venue and we were really pleased that a good enthuisiastic crowd had come along, many thanks for your noisy appreciation and great comments you gave us after the gig. This is a great venue from a bands point of view with plenty of stage space to perform in and the warmth of the Sheffield crowd really spurred us on. Delays getting to Sheffield meant not having the time to put up the full light show and the 12 oclock noise curfew seemed to draw the night to an earlier finish than normal but all in all an enjoyable gig in front of a really friendly Sheffield crowd. We will be back on Fri 16th of July with the full light show!
THE FOX Thorpe Willoughby,Selby
The next day saw us heading out to Selby to the now infamous Fox and the scene of many a three and a half hour set by us. This is our favourite venue and whilst the landlord said it was his busiest night since Christmas, in comparison to many previous visits this was a lower turn out, never the less, the crowd that did come along were in fine form and showing there appreciation in the typical loud Fox manner creating a great atmosphere, with the usual dancing on tables chairs which we have come to associate with this pub. All the new songs went down well and we finally came off stage at 1 oclock in the morning, probably our earliest finish ever here but welcome seeing as the next day we would be back in Leeds to finish off our triple gig weekend
MEANWOOD WMC Leeds
A rare visit into clubland saw us playing at The Meanwood WMC after being invited to play there by Steve, a Styckleback supporter and commitee member. This is a newly refurbished club which as a fantastic huge stage holding 600 people in its cavernous concert room. The crowd grew as the night went along to produce a good atmosphere and a crowd that showed a lot of vocal support and cheered us on to play far longer than the alloted 2 x 45 minute slots and it turned out to be a really anjoyable gig even though we were getting a bit knackered on ou third day of carrying all that gear in and out, many thanks to the DJ there for giving me a lift in with some of the heavy speakers and mixing desk. A well earned rest now before next weeks triple weekend starting at Maguires in Leeds on Friday 12th of March.
