The answer is that I’m not sure as my watch stopped half-way through the set.
As it’s a bettery operated watch that normally stops about once a year this could not be anticipated.
But my guess is that we were just a bit over.
What I do know is that it was a fabulous gig, where we got three encores.
There was a heaving floor of dancers the whole time we were playing, and a good part of that was that we did get through the songs more quickly than we normally do. Slightly fewer solos and a slicker transition between songs mean that we really kept the energy levels up.
I reckon the final tally was 17 songs in 75 minutes. That’s still a record for us.

We’re playing the Last Days of Decadence in Shoreditch tomorrow (that’s Saturday July 24th).
You can read about the gig – complete with a spectacularly out of date photo – here.
I’m not sure about the Oi! reference either. We don’t exactly do skinhead punk.
We’re due to play for an hour, so have set ourselves the challenge of fitting 15 songs in. Normally we play about 12 songs in an hour, but by having slightly shorter solos and moving slickly from one tune to the next, we will be trying for 15.
Come along with stopwatches and counters to find out how we do.

We are gearing up for a function gig this weekend near Reading.
It’s a private party so no more details in advance, though I’m sure we’ll do a report here.
But it’s now only a couple of weeks until our next public gig in London.
It’s Saturday July 24 at the Last Days of Decadence, 145 Shoreditch High Street, London, E1 6JE.
Here’s the Facebook invite – and here’s the venue website

Obviously it’s Tom Baker as he’s the only one who is appearing with us at our next gig.
This is February 27th at The Last Days of Decadence, 145 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6JE.
I wonder if we could ska up the Doctor Who theme.
