Last night we went to Basildon – or more accurately Pitsea – to play a private function.<\/p>\n

Here’s a clue to its purpose.\"Dadcake\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was a full-on ska party with decoration to match.<\/p>\n

\"stage\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there were lots of cakes.<\/p>\n

\"John's<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from the soundcheck, but we didn’t get the chance to get anyone to take us while we performed.<\/p>\n

We were asked to play Mirror in the Bathroom, Tears of a Clown and Red is Danger.<\/p>\n

We’ve\u00a0 never done Mirror in the Bathroom before and had played Tears of a Clown only once before many years ago (and not very well). So some frantic arranging and rehearsing went on to get them up to scratch.<\/p>\n

We hadn’t played Red is Danger for some time either. It goes back to the very early days of the band.We enjoyed reviving this. It will get some more outings now.<\/p>\n

We also added One Step Beyond to our repertoire as it’s the right kind of tune to start this kind of evening as we mean to go on.<\/p>\n

This is what we played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
