Aswell as this being our 1st year anniversary of being at our 'new' venue it was also gonna be sean parrys last nite as a resident and was also the first nite in 3 years which john stapleton would miss.Bristols steve conner was guesting and played some great rnb and northern after ian mccrees opening set. Imust start writing some of their spins down,quite a few steve played were new to me and would have been on my wants list not that it isnt too big already!
As it was sean last nite he was going to do just one set at prime time so i did a little half hour set at 11 and came on again after sean till the end.Seans set as expected touched every style he has played over the years rnb,northern,british beat and a crackin ska set, he had the floor filled,a great set to finish on.With the landladys finger on the light switch i planned to finish on a couple of mellows tunes with sheps in sittin in to be the last track but then got asked for more including some ska,i didnt have any'real' ska with me but 'backslop' and wilson picketts' let me be your boy' were close enough, i was then about to go off on one again with la brenda bens 'chaperone' before being told it had to end.
We had 93 payers so with us and the guests there would have been 100 in which fills our club and considering the terrible weather and all the other things that were on in and around bristolthat was pretty good even if a few less than the last couple of monthsAs always some new faces to take the place of regulars elswhere.Big thanx to all who came including travellers from wales and gloucester.Next month john will be back and rearing to go and we also have the return of mr Des Parker so it will be a top nite not to be missed and one to come to if you havnt been yet.
