ANARCHY TOUR 2010
|
TOUR DIARY
Part 8
Well, we finally managed to get a rehearsal in to go over a couple of new song ideas, 2 by the Clash, namely, "Stay Free", which i have to say is a beauty, this song has come about by Jane and Wally asking us to perform the song for their 1st dance at the wedding in May, and "Janie Jones", which will be a cracking song but needs a few rehearsals yet. Then we had a look at another song for the wedding only this one is a massive suprise for the bride and groom, so under no circumstance, must ANY OF YOU mention this, otherwise we'll cut ya balls off!!. One of they're fave bands are Goldblade and a track entitled "Strictly Hardcore", it is mental maaan......an it dont arf fly, all singing and chanting and i can see complete "CARNAGE" as Mark so delicately put it, when we throw this in at the end of the neet as part of the encore.
While we're on the subject of encores another song we chucked in at rehearsal was a song last done by us at the final (or not as it happens dear readers!) Tiger Bay bash back in 1996 at the Worlds End, Pudsey. Rather strange then that we should blast through it in one take, that been the Cult's "Lil Devil", oh joy!
So this means we have now put "Basket Case" into the set itself, along with the aforementioned and jigged a few things around to what we hope is a well balanced and enjoyable set list.
Three days later and we returned to The Savile Arms at Hunsworth, as i've said before, really nice olde worlde type boozer, and we are outside in the specially erected marquee. The occasion, Steve, the landlords 30th birthday!
Stage set up looked ace with a couple of union jack flags added to the main back drop and chance for the band to chill backstage with a pint or two for an hour or so whilst a young chap, who's name i missed, did his bit to entertain the crowd and a great job he did too, well done mate.
So, we're halfway through "Stay Free" on its first public airing, when this female copper comes wandering in waving her arms about in and effort to stop us playing, we of course duly respond and it turns out Steve, the landlord, is in a spot of bother!
Too noisy? Neighbours complaining?....No mate, you sit there while i take my kit off and wiggle about all over ya!!
Naughty looking little minx wi blond hair, in some areas that is!!! In others well...................anyway, FANTASTIC I say!!!!
(More of this minx with less clothes soon!!!!!)
Moving swiftly on, Init funny how things happen sometimes, suddenly without any warning an email floats into the bands newsdesk asking if we're playing at O'neills in June as a HEN PARTY of all things, are looking for a good old rock gig....then at the bottom was the signature.....Julie of the sausages...YES THE SAUSAGES.....our fantastic little fan club we got to know whilst giging at the Dynley Arms all them years ago.....unbelievable.
Bit of time out through April with a couple of rehearsals leading up to the wedding, but before that we returned to O'Neills bar in Leeds.
Bit of a strange one this time round, busy 1st set with the band in good form but then at the interval the pub thinned out some to which the second set began to a disappointing crowd. Still well received by those there especially a bevvy of beauties up on the balcony, but then quarter of an hour later and the doors are nearly coming of their hinges!
Place busy again and the crowd very responsive, "Better than that bleedin' Hawkwind I've just bin ta see!" (quoteth chap from Doncaster).
Couple of encores and in went "Strictly hardcore"...marvelous!!! and oh yes nearly forgot to mentions Phils new axe maaan.....(over done rock star accent!) Very rock n roll.
Next up, the much awaited wedding of our good friends Jane and Keith, from now on refered to as Wally! not for any malitious reason just his surname is Walton! Goodnight John Boy! Goodnight Hairy Melon!...Come on keep up!
Mr Todd propin the bar up
Have to say this was a first, a wedding bash in a morgue!!! I kid you not!
Made sure I was escorted to the dressing room everytime I can tell ya, not wandering about on my own!
What a day, an absolute scortcher, Jane ya looked ace, and not a spike in sight!!! Wal's you looked good too darling! Anyway had a few in the pub at lunch time then 'ome to relax before we headed off to the gig. Talk about rush job, we were using the Cardinals gear, this the band who were headlining, which didn't arrive at the venue til about 6.45 (us on at 7.30!!!). So we just had to sit in the sun suppin lager until 7.45 when without any soundcheck we struck into the first dance "Stay Free".
What with the weather, loads of folk outside but by all accounts the show was really enjoyed and the secret of "Strictly Hardcore" went down a storm witht he bride and groom, the look on their faces a picture when they realised.
So a cracking gig, great little bash from the Comuknobs, featuring Wally the groom and Graham our ex landlord, good show from Arron, hope i've got the name right and the Cardinals, who we should hopefully be appearing with again at the BANKSTOCK FESTIVAL in July, so even though a shortened set, all in all a great night.
Hopefully have some pics soon especially the little blonde!!! copper, oooh rather....

Part 7
Happy New Year chums, hope you are all well after the Christmas and new year shananigans, what about the weather eh? Yeah, what about the weather Nick! SNOW I MEAN, SNOW bloddy hell, I thought it was a thing of the past for us English type peeps, but oh no... did it come down? Did it!
Tis a good job the "We're goin' down the pub" tour had finished cos i seriously doubt whether we'de have made it to some gigs, especially Mark who got snowed in numerous times up there in aragat....ooopps sorry, Harrow Gate as it is pronounced up there tha nos.....very posh you know!
Snow in aragat
Well, got to admit had a reet blast over the seasonal period, little un got us up at some ungodly hour Christmas day and this after a rather busy shall we say, Christmas Eve but it was worth it and then.......aghh, everything becomes a blur again!
Due to the weather the band only managed to re group a few days before our first gig of the year and the start of the "Anarchy" tour but as true pro's that we are, (Yeah ok ok, ya don't need to inform the trading standards!!!)
we fair rattled through the set and very convincingly too may I add.
And then we were back on the road before we knew it, the Duck and Drake in Leeds. Strange start time of 6 o'clock.........but........
.......four clicks of Marks sticks and "RIGHT.......NOW......HA HA HA HA ......"
I had a feeeling it was gunna be a good un right there and then, although I have to admit I did have a touch of anxiousness before hand, wondering how we we're gunna be received. Need not have worried tho as it went down a storm, crowd a bit ont thin side but really appreciative, and as the bar staff said it was straight after Christmas when all boozers are a bit dead, but i've got a feeling it'll be a tad busier next time sometime in the summer!
Next up the following Saturday and we're back in Pudsey and the rescheduled bash at the White Cross, another blinder, this time really nice and busy, infact packed i'd say. And on display the new lighting rig! somat else to play with, and it wont send ya blind either!!! actually it might cos they're a bit bright them LEDs.
Bloody hell we're a loud set us lads which was further emphasised by Tracy the new landlady who remarked about the bottles on the shelves behind the bar having the st vitas dance or something similar, shuffling their way very nicely across the shelving!
Enthusiastic support down the front with the guys dancing about some what manicly, shirts off to boot (not a pretty sight) and also spending a bit of time rolling around the floor, not sure whether this bit was supposed to be part of the dance or somat to do wit beer intake!.....i presume the latter! Anyway made for a fabulous evening.
Well after such a good bash we just had to retire to the after gig bar!! where it turned into another rather late and messy night as you would expect!
Then it was the turn of another Pudsey pub, the Golden Lion, amazing that it was my first gig there since 1979 when i was going out with the landlords daughter, lovely girl..yes. What....31 years ago, hells teeth! As i said on the night, best not leave it another 31 years me thinks, actually we wont cos we're back there at the end of May.
Good gig, went down well, although Dave wasn't too happy sound wise, nowt to do with Wayne I hasten to add, just that the PA was positioned way in front and one side behind a stone piller so no overspill, i'm sure we'll get round it. But the crowd enjoyed it, packed again...thanks you lot...some new faces and some regulars not to mention the Tiger Bay Rowdies. Great to see Mick and Dave with their version of pogoing sitting down, well were getting on a bit and so are us fans!!! Oh i did chuckle.
Due to play the George in Idle a couple of weeks later but this was cancelled as the pub were receiving complaints regarding noise from the neighbours...hey ho.
So peeps we hope to see you all next week on the 13th March back at the Savile Arms, Cleckheaton. Really looking forward to this, is it really 6 months since we were there on that red hot day.
Catch ya later

Part 6
I CAN'T BELEIVE I'VE GOT TO BLOODY DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN....AGGHHHHHHHHH.
Bloody great, just got part 6 all written up cut it to send it live and lost the f*****g lot! "B******S" !!!!
Right, ere we go again, there seems like loads to natter about this time round and tis gunna take a load of brain power to try and remember things. If i remember rightly the next thing of note was the return gig back at the Commercial and of course the return of Mark to the hot seat. Due to this quite probably we were ready for it and definatly on form. Bit less on the punters than last time however there were enough there to make a row and support the band esspecially those at the back, jumping about on the furniture and punching the air when required! All in all a good gig and the confidence certainly coming back.
Nine days later and we're into the last week of September would you believe.....NO I BLOODY WELL WOULDN'T! Why, because you would have thought that the colder weather would be decending on us but no, we roll up at the Saville Arms, Hunsworth in beautiful sunshine, red hot it was, everyone sat outside suppin' and eagerly watching us as we set up in the purpose built marquee. I tell ya it was like middle of July, well the July's that we used to get, if anyone can remember that far back.
The gig itself was to officially re launch the pub and went in a flash leaving folk shouting for more. Massive turn out from the local bikers with a fantastic display of triks, ( is that how you spell it, i don't know, anyway tricycles I am trying to say) and nice to be able to have our kids there to watch, mine watched for... oh at least 30 seconds before spending the afternoon running round the car park and dancing on the back wall, Alex on the otherhand, proped up stage left in front of his dad Dave, taking it all in.
The pub itself is well worth a visit, very homely olde worldy traditional type thingamijiggy and............oh my goodness tis snowing like f**k outside, now i mean, as i sit here writting this a week to Christmas, glad i'm not in Blackpool as i could well have been with a few mates for the Status Quo bash tonight, instead a nice night in with a few tins watching Everton ont box!
I digress, yes, lovely pub and looking forward to returning for the gig in March, see gig guide.
Now we've not played Leeds for yonks, apart from the wedding earlier this year, infact I can't remember the last time we did it, but October marked the return with a gig at O'Neills bar. The gig happened about as a mate of mine Ozzy, (no not the real one) had put a good word in and whilst discussing the possibility a cancelation came through so we snapped it up.
WHAT A BLOODY BLINDER!
Reet gig I'll tell ya, place was rammed, plenty of very nice female form and it was of course great to see the Tiger Bay rowdies fan club! in attendance. For all the gig was littered with mistakes oops, it went down a storm folk really up for it.
Dave out front playing to a group of young ladies dressed as school girls, as you would and then at the mention of Gay Bar the whole place seemed to ripple resulting in the stage been stormed by a number of blokes and a couple of girls, who promptly took Phils mike and helped !!!??? out on the vocals. Phil took one look at the group heading his way and with the sound of "up against the wall" still ringing in his ears, shot back at great speed to the back drop and there he stayed, arse pressed ever so tightly to the wall, taking no chances whatsoever!!!
After the gig we resisted the temptation of the red leopard!!!(only joking darling!) and me and Dave took to the Commercial for a few beers.......few beers my hairy arse........at 5.45am I decided it might be best to bugger off home, so I did with just the hint of a slight wobble.
And so the 2009 "We're goin' down the pub" tour abruptly finished as a mix up in dates resulted in the much awaited White Cross gig having to be rescheduled, ( catch you all in January gang, can't wait) and then the Wellington in Eccleshill had the plug pulled by us as it appeared something was amiss at the pub, permanently locked up, curtains drawn and a pile of post behind the door, not to mention no contact.
So all that remains is for me and the lads to wish you all a very happy Christmas and new year and to thank you for your wonderful support over the last 12 months, we look forward to seeing you all again in 2010 and doing it all again. I leave you chums with our E.Christmas card to you....a picture of our new backing singers for next year!!
Take care & all the best

Part 5
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS FOLKS..............
MARK'S BACK!!
YEP INDEEDY, THE NOISY GIT AT THE BACK IS BACK IN THE HOT SEAT, just in time for the bash at the Commercial this Friday the 11th Nov and how good is it to see him back. Thats probably enough now as with all this attention he's likely as not to be able to fit through the Commercial doorway with such an inflated ego and head swell!!!
But, seriously, it is great to have ya back mate, by the way i've got some homosexual blue jeans aswell now!!!
So, summer rattled its way on and so do rehearsals, of course we had to find a temp to take the drum stool and Andy ..... who plays with Daves t'other band, Adverse Camber, very kindly stepped in to help out, and so without further ado............... a very big thank you Andy, it is really appreciated you could do that for us.
We needed to do something quickly of course, what with the private wedding we had coming up in Leeds so me and Phil had a get together over the obligatry pint or two!! and worked out what we feel is a cracking set which should see the band on stage for about 45 minutes, ("If this was a compilation album I'd definatly buy it!" said phil!)
We left the main set alone to concentrate on this and Andy got involved straight away, a number of songs he already knew anyway, however, a number of new songs are currently being worked on which when completed will bring the set list up to 26!
Also a couple of re workings one of which is " I Melt With You" which we have altered the key and for the better I would say.
Saw a video of Bowling For Soup doing this song and thought it was better suited to me vocal wise, since playing the original I felt the vocals were too deep and lost, this version is far more in line for me, so I reckon that will work really well in the set. Band introductions seem to have found an ideal spot too as you will see at the next full bash.
So rehearsals came to a close at the start of August as various band members began bezzin round the world on holiday etc and i started decorating, great!
And then, suddenly, it was here...the wedding.
The Metropole Hotel, Leeds, the scene of a fine gig to celebrate the wedding of Joanne and Ronnie, we of course wish them both all the best.
With its ornate Grade II listed terracotta facade, it has recently undergone a substantial programme of refurbishment at a cost of over £6 million, placing it firmly within the elite of Leeds City Centre’s flourishing collection of luxury hotels. The elegance and splendour of The Leeds Met’s frontage is complemented by the chic style of the interior – clean, muted tones and contemporary furnishings lend a distinctly modern air to this historic hotel, without detracting from its original...........ok ok, quit the PR, we get the message!
Showtime originaly set for 6.00pm but was put back to a more realistic time for rock and roll of 8.00pm.
Sound checks got underway about sixish before the band settled down with a pint and a chat, there were infact a number of acts on on the night, first up, a very good female soloist sang the first dance for the couple and then another couple of numbers with guitarist.
Then, lights down and the strains of the toy dolls, Nellie the effalump came booming out the pa.
Ah, thats our que boys, lets rock, and so we did, a fine set for about 45 minutes in danger of shaking the very victorian foundations to their extrematies
Stage set fantastic with the lighting and making an appearance for the 1st time since 1996, THE FOG!!!
Twas always part of the Tiger Bay stage show back in the old days and i've gotta say twas grand to see it back, FANTASTIC, ok,some might say old fart, but to me down right rockand roll, so nagh, yah boo an all that!!
Some rather grand stage wear on display too as you'll see when the official pics are published.
Special mention to our new man in the ranks, Wayne our sound techy guy who did a great job, under extream presure having to deal with ALL the acts requirements!!!, cracking sound from the pa. I reckon the next bash will be a walk in the park for him after all that!
The crowd a bit muted but what do you expect with grannys, aunties and uncles etc in attendance, all nicely sat round the tables suppin wine, they did watch tho and we did get good response on the whole and a few die hards down the front diving around po going and head banging.
And so chums, we hope to see you all with shall we say a more lively crowd down at the Commy (Commercial, Pudsey to you!) tomorrow neet the 11th Sept, oh and by the way tis Phils birthday too...so go easy on the presies but please make sure ya bring a wallet or purse, depending on how you hang!!
See ya lata.
Part 4
Did we really do that!!
17 and a half thousand crowd, Headingley Carnegie Stadium, Rhinos v Wigan Warriors, Sky TV and Tiger Bay stuck out in the middle of the pitch!
WHAT A COME BACK GIG!
Things don't change, once again us Tiger Boys go for the jugular.
Reminded me in a fashion to 1990 when the new line up played their first gig at the Pudsey Carnival on the back of a wagon, tell ya what we thought that was a big crowd, and so it was......but BLOODY HELL!!!
So Friday the 13th, what could possibly go wrong.....
Met up around about 4.00 for sound check and then spent time in the cafe bar with a few drinks and somat to scran and then wandered over to the main stand and the dressing rooms. It was at this point while me, Dave and Mark were loitering in the players tunnel, peering across to the now full south stand, that Phil came flying down the stairs shouting,"Nick I could kiss ya!" Waghh hold on whats going on, well it turns out that we were sharing the dressing rooms with the Rhinos dancers, lovely bunch of girls!!
Sooner have a kiss off them by far, no hard feelings Phil!
Ere, now theres a thought, we could av em appear in a vid at some time!!
Having got changed Phil proudly sporting the Bedford tartan kilt, which I must say has been a massive talking point! We were called to stage as they say. And out we went.... what a feeling.
A cracking rendition of Swords of a Thousand Men and it was all over in a flash. Stayed pitch side to watch our opponents The Irregulars who were very good it has to be said, but following watching the first half of the Rhinos tonking Wigan we were marched out onto the pitch again for the result! A win for the Tigers!! and a possible re appearance before the Harlequins match in the final on April 24th.
It was then back into rehearsals for the homecoming gig at the Commercial.
Talk about nerves, don't think i've ever been as nervous for a gig, not even the stadium, difference being although you know theres 17 and an arf thousand out there ya cant see anyone as opposed to the Commy when the crowd are completely in ya face, the whites of their eyes watching every move!
A glorious day led up to the eve and the pub got fuller and fuller until show time and off we went, straight into Tommy Gun and Holidays in't Sun and the rest is history, a fantastic crowd, (nice to see a few old faces from our old days), gave us plenty of support singing along and dancing and falling over!! so a massive thank you to all of ya.
Then of course there was the case of the flying knickers!!! not the skimpy little numbers we used to have thrown at us (yeah right!) this pair, when unfurled, were proper Bridget Jones style, is this something to do with our age me thinks. Anyway they came in handy as a head warmer for Phil! See the pics!
Gig itself was to be fair a bit wooly round the edges, quite a few forgotten lines etc, not to mention a whole section of one of the Ramones no.s, oops! and a second set better than the first, not that anybody seemed to mind and again it was all over in a flash. Talking of flashes, plenty of photos taken, see gallery. So now back into rehearsals for a few more numbers to bolster the set, definatly need a couple of encore numbers and try and tidy things up a bit more, but when all said and done, not bad for the old guys to say its been 13 years an all that.
Now many a strange thing has happened to Tiger Bay over the years, but this takes the biscuit, as i am about to do right now...custard cream, lovely!!
Dave rung me the other night to say somebody had left him a message on facebook, guess who he asked me, No idea I replied after a couple of unsuccessful guesses.........Ian "spider" McHenry, yep the very same, bass player in the early days who non of us have had sight nor sound of in 20 years, (see history page) turns out he's living in India!!
Right shock I can tell ya, esspecially as a few of our old fans were saying "all it needs now is spider to wander in an the crowds complete." this at the Commercial. So there ya go, 3 days later he gets in touch.......world of strange eh?
Tata fana
Part 3
Hello, tas been a while aint it? Been so busy what with one thing or another and of course setting up this web site, but were now here to give you the low down on whats goin on.
Well, summer, if it ever happened at all, has definately buggered off to be replaced by, well, freezing cold actually.
Now unfortunately the hope off the band playing before Christmas didn't materialise however things are going well and i have been reliably informed by Dave that we now have two sets of 9 songs, which i'm quite surprised about. It seems like we've been rehearsing numerous songs which have in fact mounted up without us really knowing.
This is a good thing in my opinion as now we can get down to writing a set list and rehearsing that to perfection, (well as near as we can get to perfection for us!!!) and at the same time adding a few more numbers. We are currently working on some new material with a few other ideas floating around, so it's going in the right direction.
Because we're getting close now, i reckon we need a couple of quick fixes as i call it, songs we can bash out in one take basically, got a few in mind so we'll have a look at these at next rehearsal.
On the gig front, the White Cross has gone, not literally, although nearly on bonfire night when the fire was built higher than the pub and consequently started melting the windows of the house at the top of the car park! Got to say at this point that friends Sean and Viv had finished as landlord and landlady and left the pub which as a result had led to a relief going in. Anyway as a result, the fire brigade came out and gave me a right old laugh. I legged it up the street just in time to catch this fire fighter in full gear asking 3 youths!!! what they thought they were going to achieve with a normal garden hose pipe without a nozzle. As he turned to walk back to the appliance the 3 youths decided to shower him with a spray of water, dick 'eads, firefighter never flinched. So i walks up to the appliance as hes rolling out the hose pipe, sez to his mate "full bore", turns and gives the youths a short blast from his hose. Result, all that can be seen is a big jet of water and three pair of legs flyin up in the air, he then set about the fire. Mines bigger than yours ha! Fire not only melts windows but burns down three phone lines to boot........great comedy.
So as i say that gig will be no more, but the Commercial looks set to be a good un, i get the immpression from various locals the place is gunna be heaving.
Also there is a strong possibility that a few support slots will be undertaken, news will follow in news and gig list.
Gotta say, it's good to be able to refer folk to a proper web site of the band, i'm sure it will not only be informative once were up and running but a source of great amusement to all our new friends and supporters who can look back at old images of the band.
Watch out soon for a new section on the site, GALLERY, some right sights for ya.
Tata for now

Part 2
So is that it then? Summer over,Sunday,Monday,Tuesday, who knows, answer is probably.Well never mind eh, least it's better weather than they've just had in Basle, did you see that rain, fair play to the Swiss and the Turks for attempting to play a game of football in that!!
Anyway gang, how is everyone, well, I trust?
First of all you may have noticed a little activity in the gig list posts, not too much but just a smackrel. Having spoken to Graham, landlord of the Commercial in Pudsey, he told me he is more than happy to give us Tigers our first gig there and this has been echoed by new landlord and landlady, Sean and Viv at the White Cross also in Pudsey,(of course, if we've done the Commy then the Cross won't be our first gig and more to the point it probably won't be at the Commy either cos I have a feeling a launch nite party is gunna be arranged to try out the set in front of family and friends at a secret location in Leeds before any of this. And then there might be the appearance at the open air bash in Wakefield not to mention an appearance at Phil's birthday bash in September. Not only that, although the venues are definately confirmed the dates aren't yet! OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE!
So things are starting to get exciting now and we look forward to the next rehearsals where hopefully 2 more songs will be added to the set list. One brand new song not yet attempted and one that has had a slight attempt at which hopefully we can nail down there and then. (still no clues as to the new material!)
Been quiet over the last week or two as Dave's been on his hols and apparently has had his memory erased, hence the phone call today to ask what we were to be doing at next rehearsal. Meanwhile I've been trying to learn some lyrics, maybe found a new song to cover, see what everyone thinks later, and watched a few vids of bands who's songs we're covering, actually murder the song in question which gives us all hope!
Now listen very carefully, for I shall only say this only once, I am hoping that after the next rehearsal we will have some new picies of the band, can't promise but if we have they will be on this site in a flash and you can say good god, it's true they do look old.
Reet, thats it for now, I'm off for some cheese and crackers, Swiss cheese of course, poor old Switzerland!!

Part 1
Well I dont supose this bit of tour blog can be called tour blog, cos quite obviously wer're not touring at the mo, but we are rehearsing so that could be classed as part of the tour could it not? Yes? No? Well tough, wer're gunna do it any way, so there.
Now where was I, ah yes, the Tour Blog. Firstly,I'd best explain. The purpose of this blog is to give you the reader an insight into what the band are doing, music wise, backstage and in in general, hopefully on a weekly basis, although this could vary for all kinds of reasons, you know, time, state of mind, state of intoxication etc!Rather like a diary you say, well, yes, rather like a diary, and if events from our early days are anything to go by I'm sure things will be quite amusing.
Oh I do wish we could have had this site in those days!
I digress, so to get the ball rolling....you obviously know the band are in rehearsal and things are going well, by the end of the next rehearsal we should have 12 songs on the go, (only another 20 to go! only joking, n,n,n,n,nineteen! In 1974 England scored a measly n,n,n,n,nineteen, the West Indies, n,n,n,n, three hundred and thirty seven!)
Dave has already decided the opening number and follow up, which to be fair are probably the best that we do at the mo, but the rest will drop into shape I'm sure.
Notice I'm still not giving anything away!
Oh aye, went for a pint after rehearsal last night and bumped into Phil Bridge, who was our driver and one of the road crew when we did the Britain in a Day bash all them years ago and who I haven't seen for about a year. Told him we'de been rehearsing to which he replied..."F*****g hell." Make of that what you will!
I digress again, so rehearsals aside, the other talking point is this open air bash at some boozer or other in Wakefield on August Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon. Now this is still a bit up in the air if you like as we know Phil can't do it cos he'll be roastin his chestnuts in Turkey! and come to that Mark is still uncertain as to whether he'll be available, so it might not be a goer at all. But if Mark is available, then the original Tiger Bay bassist from 1988, Johnny Jessup, has agreed to stand in for Phil. Looks like we'll be doing about 5 or 6 numbers, so at the current song timings we should be on and off in about 5 minutes!!
So we'll just have ta wait and see, will keep ya all informed.
Anything else? you ask.
Well, we could really do with some new photos of the band, so watch this space and i'm hoping there will be a little video (currently being put together)coming soon, basically to promote the band, again watch this space!
Reet folks thats it fa nar, catch ya later.
