Great Western, Warwick 27/6/06

Back from a workshop, back to the blog.
I have not written for a while and all things are a changing.
Last week my contract was terminated, nothing I had done wrong, more that I had done something right.
They have promoted a full time person, who I have been mentoring, into my job.
Enough said Last night,
Great Western Warwick. Did 4 songs
Cover Me - Springsteen
The Trees - Rush
Substitute - the Who
Announcement that this was my last night here.
 Caused some shock amongst those I call friends.
Thanked Mellow Gold, Jez and Terry for their support over the last 9 months I have been playing there.
Pinball Wizard - the Who
Then did second set at the end of the evening, special request
Tattoo - the Who
Behind Blue Eyes - the Who
I discovered that until the festival on the 5th, there is a session every Tuesday, I am now a liar!!! 
Off to see the Who tonight in Bristol - Serious rock and roll!

Punchbowl 22/6/06

I was crap last night.
I little too much pop early on and I seemed to loose finger co-ordination. 
Never mind, still enjoyed it though!
Set list
Pinball Wizard
Don't Hurt Yourself
Behind Blue Eyes
I really did intend to do some new stuff, but the light was low and the text too small to read.
Next time!

Punchbowl, Warwick 18/5/06

Morning badger followers last night was great.
Well I think so. I stepped up to the mic, in place of a young lad who's guitar had developed a fault to do a couple of songs whilst he fixed it. Then I was going back on later.
I played
Behind Blue Eyes
Pinball Wizard
Then I was joined by the landlord on bass for Boris the Spider. This is his wife's favourite song. It went down a storm. I never got on later for the other tracks I was planning to do. I have to say that I thought I played and sang very well.
TTFN Badger off to do something else

Punchbowl 11/5/06 - Boris awakes!

12/5/05
Morning readers (optimist I am)
Last night was good on the playing front. I cocked up two songs because I did not practice, I have hardly picked up my guitar for two weeks at least.
Set list
Don't Hurt yourself
Pinball Wizard
Wish you were here.Wish you were here was a new one for me. I have been playing it for a long time, but this was the first public outing I had. It was received well. In fact one guy said it was the best song of the evening. The song, not my performance of it I suspect he meant.The landlord has requested Boris the spider, so that will be next weeks challenge. He plays bass so I get to play with some one else.

GW Fest was brill. Not only did I meet old friends, but the music was great and they raised shed loads of cash for a great cause. Well done to all who organised and performed.  Happy birthday to me!  I have nothing else to add. I am not worthy!  Badger

Aussie Floyd

The Aussie Floyd were excellent There was one muppet in the audience who ruined the intro to RUN LIKE HELL, but that was all. Opened with Dark Side in its entirety, then played various tracks from their (the real Floyds) history. Lights and effects were also spot on. I highly recommend this band if you like Floyd. Badger
