Our next gig sees us return to Dumplins Live Ska next Saturday, February 7 2015.
It’s at the Fiddler’s Elbow in Chalk Farm: 1 Malden Road, London NW5 3HS.
We are on with Ipswich band the Downsetters – who sound pretty good to us.
There is always a great crowd, great sound and a great time at Dumplins.
We now have three public gigs over the next few months.
The next is on December 13th at the Cavendish Arms in Stockwell. Admission is free, and their music room has great sound. It is where we did our band pictures.
On January 3rd we play Upstairs at the Ritzy in Brixton. That’s a gig we always enjoy (at least once we have got all our gear up lots of stairs) as it’s a good room with a great atmosphere.
And on February 7th we are back at Dumplins Live Ska at the Fiddler’s Elbow in Chalk Farm. That is always a special gig too. Real ska fans, a good stage, great sound and easy parking.
Dumplins Live ska is a monthly night at the Fiddler’s Elbow close to Chalk Farm in Camden.
It is probably our favourite gig.
The crowd enjoy their ska, and are happy to hear rarities and new stuff as well as the old favourites. There is always great sound – both out front and on stage.
There’s no sense of their being a support and headliner – both bands get the same time and equal billing.
We were very happy to play there at the beginning of August (though holidays have intervened to stop a write-up until now).
Thanks to Michelle we have some great pictures from the night, some of which are below.
We thought that we were on particularly good form, and certainly got a great audience response. It was also good to share a bill with the Estimators , who love their traditional ska as much as we do.
This is what we played – the first time we have played Doctor Who live for a long time.
