We played our last gig of the year on Wednesday. Despite being up against England vs Croatia we still pulled a decent sized crowd of friends and family, and a good night was had by all.

Decent money this time - £40, which went straight into the kitty for our album recording. We've done seven tracks so far, 3 or 4 to go. I'll fill you in on the recording process in a future entry.

Highlight of the night was the bass player leaving his coat at the venue and thereby locking himself out of his house.

Our drummer had to exchange harsh words with a punter while the support act played their set. This female was loudly questioning "why are you clapping, they are rubbish" and when challenged over this breach of etiquette she retorted that she "promotes and books bands". That would make her the arbiter of all musical taste then...

She was offered the option of "sticking around and not clapping to our band, or going to a venue without live music".

She chose the latter.
