For the last 4 months the crowd at go go has increased each month but sadly friday nite there was only about 40 people which was well down on the 70 that were there in october.Maybe it was the credit crunch and xmas coming up.Although i knew of at least half a dozen regulars who were at the warmwell scooter rally,another half a dozen who were saving there money or legs ! for ginger taylor in bridgewater on saturday add to that a couple who were ill one out of the country and it soon adds up ! we havnt had a crowd this small since we started back in january.
We still had enuff for a good atmoshere as the basement club only holds about 100 but for some reason they really made it hard work for us ! no matter what we played,lots of bobbing heads and tapping feet but very few dancers.That is until it was nearly time to go ! it wasnt untill 10 minutes into my last set and just before john played the final set of the night that the whole club got up and went for it in the normal go go style and we ended up going on later than normal,finishing about 1.20 (supposed to be 1,normally 10 past)and left the crow still shouting for more !!
So all in all a very strange nite,on a good note we did have some new 'mod type' lads in and some women with funky afros in who all had a good night and should be back and the free cds went down well.Big thanx to all especially those from wales and weston.On with my playlist....
