Met bar

This is what you might call a last minute job Tom Hingley said ringing early on Tuesday morning; so I said yes, naturally. Tom was off to do an interview with a Manchester magazine in London so was unavailable having expected the interview to be here… he was also planning on impregnating several of the capital’s young and glamorously endowed music industry receptionists with some choice rock n roll semen of the north…well that’s what he said though I think he might have been joking. It was really nice to hear from him as we haven’t spoken in ages. So that night I set off for the Met Bar in a seasonally dismal Bury as Toms replacement where I was warmly greeted and provided for by Tony the affable promoter. I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised with the venue, a bistro setting tables and dining and all very civil really. The gig went well and I was home for midnight. I hope to return again some day. I quite enjoyed playing solo as it’s been awhile since and I managed to part with a few albums afterwards for hard cash no less. Today Bonehead and I are sorting out festival dates in the summer...if anyone’s got any suggestions or knows any useful contacts do drop us a line, best VP x
