Quote Of The Week & Message Week 11

How's you dink dank doing, Paddy here with my weeklyish message and quote.

Well we've started the main leg of the tour playing Liverpool on Friday and Wolverhampton on Saturday, both gigs went down well especially Wolverhampton. I say this because the Liverpool Neptune gig was a bit of a let down for us, the audience were fantastic and the feed back we had was great, the problem was the sound.


(The Neptune - Liverpool)
Our very own mugs, you don't want to
drink out of anything that's had
Steve 'Mr Nice Guy' Edge's lips round it.

 

I don't know if anybody noticed but every single music cue came in either to late or to soon and when you've got a theatre full of people this isn't the thing you want to happen. Myself and the rest of the Bandwagoners got to the gig at 6 o'clock and preceded to do 3 or 4 sound checks, everybody happy............................................... NO. After all that they still managed to f**k up every single music cue we had.

At the beginning of the show you may have thought it was part of the act that I had to introduce myself four times but now you know the truth, the people or person on sound just kept getting it wrong. Again if you sensed a feeling of uneasiness from ones self or any of the other Bandwagoners then I apologise, it was out of our hands but thanks again to the Liverpool audience for making our night.
 

I'd just calmed down from the Liverpool show when we arrived at Wolverhampton Civic Hall, my first question to the Tour Manager (Gordon) was, "as the soundman been sniffing glue again tonight". Gordon assured me that they were spot on here and by god he was right. When your on stage and you know that everything is running smoothly it makes a big difference to the show so we were all in high spirits. The night was absolutely ficky focky first class and we all had a fantastic night. The audience were top notch, the sound crew were top notch and the upstairs bar was..................................... well, you can't have it all can you.
 
Some of you e-mailed in saying the staff there told you to wait in the wrong upstairs bar, it was out of the lad's hands so if we didn't get the chance to meet you and sign some of your programmes then I'm very sorry. If it makes you feel any better we only had a swift pint of the old gold and cold then went home.

Hope you like the t-shirts, mugs and various other tour goodies on sale at the shows, hopefully you will be able to get them through my web site in the next couple of weeks. I've sent in some more pics of the audiences and if the fellow who got up on stage at Wolverhampton is reading this, two words, SENSE of HUMOUR. He looked a bit shocked at my dance and I don't think he grasped the fact that it's a joke and that I'm not really a gay male stripper. Anyway, Wigan Pier next so I'll dig out mi poppers, talc, Northern Soul records and bid you all farewell.

Until next time, bummers dyslexic are people.

Paddy
