We've
booked another gig at the Royal
Sovereign on June 23rd.
Many
thanks to Simon at the Sov who can make a better profit
with DJs as he only has to pay them a fraction of what
he gives us! We do give a special something of course
& he likes us, so thanks again Simon!

The
gig at the Royal Sov last Saturday was another blinder
enjoyed by all - especially me! The audience were
great and came out in good numbers, the evening preceded
by a fine warm day did help perhaps. Lots of new
people who hadn't heard us before were suitably impressed,
and some future private gigs came out of it.
So
far, no confirmed public gigs to report - working on
it...

Been
a pause here, as I've had to move and had no connection
for a while. I am going to have to move again soon,
being in temporary digs for a bit. Probably going to
be moving at least twice more in the next year or so!
Many
thanks to all who helped me out during the move.
Rehearsal
tonight, first one since Easter, in preparation for
our gig at the Royal Sovereign on May 12th. Hope to
see you all there!

The
Fundraiser for Mariposas Amarillas on Saturday March
10th was a great success and raised over £1000
I understand.
The
other Band, "Cumbe" were very good and we
enjoyed watching them.
That
Hoxton/Shoreditch area is now a really lively place
of an evening, the whole area was buzzing until late
into the night. Millions of people about!
Here's
a LINK to some pics
of the evening at El Paso.

We
are very much looking forward to the Mariposas Amarillas
benefit gig for Columbian children this Saturday at
El Paso. We're thoroughly rehearsed and have a set list
ready (seldom seen).
Contrary
to anything which might have been published before,
Section Eleven are doing 2 sets and starting at 9:30pm.
Between
sets there will be some chat and pictures shown, after
we finish, the raffle will be drawn.
Great
cause - see you there!

Gig
at the Weavers last Saturday was very poorly attended.
This could be something to do with the 6 inches of snow
dumped on us that night.
Anyway,
those who were there enjoyed themselves and made the
usual appreciative comments.
Personally,
I thought we were slightly lack-lustre (Eamonn used
this word as well), numbers were slow and sometimes
slowed down, though solos were always good.
Don't
forget the fundraiser on March
10th at El Paso (details on gig
page).

We've
managed to get a date at the Weavers Arms for Saturday
February 4th. Haven't played there for a while now!
Weavers is at 98 Newington Green
Road, N1 4RQ. Get there if you can!
The
Royal Sovereign is apparently being refurbished and
we are unable to book any dates until after January
- this means they are taking no bookings until they're
more certain of when it's all going to be finished,
well this is what I devine from what I've been told.
Should have a date there in March or April though.
Also,
we've seen that the Latin Corner is still having live
music, so we're going to keep trying for that one as
well.

Another
great night at the Sovereign last Saturday. Our #1 fan
Sue B was there and brought loads of friends, so that
helped to bump up the numbers. A great time was had
by all - especially me!
BAD
NEWS...
The gig at the Latin Corner scheduled for Jan 21st.
has been cancelled as the manager has decided to move
on. It's possible we might be able to team up with new
management, but I have no idea really - wait and see.
Been
a bit short of gigs this season so far, the only sure
thing right now is a benefit coming up in March, but
I'll try and get a February date at the Sovereign. |
