Extended rehearsal

Posted on by patjones271

We had a longer rehearsal tonight, as it’s the last before Sunday’s gig. We wanted to go over our entire set, and we’re doing lots of new material – it needed work!

Lovely Rich, the bassist, brought along some extra equipment to help me with the vocals, so I’ll be actually able to hear myself – what a novelty!

I really enjoyed myself tonight, so if you come along to the Warmley Jazz Club on Sunday afternoon, if you enjoy yourself a quarter as much as I did this evening, you’ll have a great time!

A recce!

A few of us visited the Warmley Jazz Club today for a recce (don’t be misled – it’s not actually in Warmley, it’s in Cadbury Heath!)

It’s a nice venue, with a warm welcome and a good bar, we’re playing here on the afternoon of Feb 2nd – please do come, it’ll be a blast!

A quiet period….and news

As band members have been away on holiday off and on over the last few weeks, and I’ve a long running cough and wheezing, so can’t sing, we’ve actually had to turn down a few offers of gigs recently….boo!

But we’ll definitely be up at running again at full strength soon, and already planning more performances!

Well, not entirely at full strength – Phil, our guitarist has had to leave us, due to family reasons, so we’re now only a nine piece band. We’re going to give that a go for a while, see how it works out for us, musically.

Mark is doing well in his Blind World Championship Sailing (thanks for the kind donations!) and will be back either next week or the following one – hurray!

Some tricky ones tonight…!

We’ve started working on three new numbers; it’s funny, you don’t really know which you’ll like till you actually play and sing them…I was surprised! But they’re definitely stretching us. Loads of mistakes and loads of laughs (with me, not at me….I hope!)

Plans……

We’re regrouping a bit – learning lots of new numbers, and going over old ones that we’ve not attempted for ages! Interesting…!

We’re also planning to have a promo video recorded – we’re still considering a good venue to use. (Any ideas?)

A fab night was had by all!

What a great night! More pics to come – but I couldn’t resist sharing this instrumental snippet – aren’t they cool?!

A change of venue…

Posted on by patjones271

room 10 are delighted to announce a change of venue! We’re now going to be in the lovely, friendly Greyhound in Tetbury on Saturday. And it’s free!

No comedy acts now though, sorry, unless…no. You wouldn’t be so cheeky!

See you there!

Tetbury recce

Mark, Hazel and I (Pat) popped over to beautiful Tetbury today, to check out the venue of our next gig https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/southwestlive/1940s-sweetheart-ball/e-zzopyy

It’s all looking fab – we’re very happy with the hall, and it’s a good sized stage too. It’s very central – this famous building is just round the corner!

Such a pretty part of the country, we’ll enjoy visiting.
