Kings Head Gig
02/07/08 14:26
We rolled up
early to that cultural centre of Islington the KING'S
HEAD theatre and rock and roll bar where our cars
performed complex and elegant pirouettes and slaloms
parking in Upper street. This was much admired by the
locals who said if we played as well as we parked
they would come see us for sure. We then crammed
ourselves into a tiny corner of the pub and waited
for the thespians and their audience to go away so we
could start making our favourite redhotbluesrock
noise. This we duly did, and the crowd grew and grew
until they were dancing fetchingly under our noses ..
fans had come from all over the world - Belarus,
Italy, Highbury etc - just to hear us! Mark's 'new'
1970 Ludwig snare (at one point repaired with string)
was a big hit too .. at 11pm the neighbours were
phoning the authorities and we stopped bang on time
and with a bang too .. Margo, the friendly and
helpful manager, was sorry we had to pack up so
early, as were many of our listeners .. must try and
get more dates at this really jumping night-spot ..
