2/3/11–Slug and Lettuce, Milton Keynes

On the day I was officially a Numpty!!! See previous post, I played tonight at the monthly Slug open Mic.

The evening started well with a welcome handshake from the host, a great guy, who’s name I must get.

Then, I discovered that they record the night and the recordings are availiable for me to download.

Then, my work mates turned up and I got to play

Played

Please Read my Letter – Plant/Krauss version
50 things to do before I die – Jon Chapman (with The Box)
Gave two chords as a choice and they picked option 2
Pinball Wizard/I’m Free – The Who
Rocking in the free World – Neil Young

A great Night, will post the recordings when I get them!

I also tried the “take a picture & bluetooth me it” line. Some pics were taken and one arrived via e-mail. Many thanks Simon.

Me at the Slug & Lettuce, Milton Keynes!

Till next time Badger readers.
Peace!

Numpty of the day award!!!!

Well that’s me.

 

As part of my job, I have to engage with a client for a first time as the start of the migration process.

 

Well, I engaged with the “WRONG” account!

 

In my defence, my boss was also confused but found it very amusing as did all my colleagues!

 

Life Goes on!

 

1/3/11– Peter Frampton, The Assembly, Leamington Spa

What a cracking and cool gig. But also a shame.

Cool in two ways.
His playing and showman ship
The vent blowing cold air over my nuts for the Whole gig! Small price as I was at the front!!!!

I will let others post the set lists etc

It was a shame but also not, a sentence of contradictions. On the negative he played for two hours and forty minutes meaning I could not get to the open mic at the Great Western in Warwick.
On the positive he played for two hours and forty minutes instead of the two hours advertised!.

Some pics to pass some of the event!

The guy can tap dance on his effects board!

SG from his Humble Pie days
