Last night we played a place I haven't played in about 10 years, Bubbles in Ashington. I have to say I wasn't expecting too much because a) I couldn't remember what it was like 10 years ago and b) you don't really hear much about it these days. Well, I was blown away with the place. What an excellent venue. It's small, with a fairly cramped stage but the atmosphere was electric. The crowd were there from the get go. Even though we had technical issues in the first song, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits. Every song was very warmly received.
Talking to a couple of the punters, they were saying what a refreshing change it was for a good rock band to play there rather than the "slit your wrists blues bands" that often grace the stage. Well, it was also a refreshing change to play a venue as warm and inviting as this, there are too few.
Thankyou Ashington and Bubbles for a great night, we'll be back!
Here's a video of us last night at Bubbles playing White Punks On Dope by The Tubes.
