… or is it teepee?<\/p>\n

We had a terrible journey to what turned out to be a great gig near Dorchester in Dorset.<\/p>\n

It was lucky that we had all set out in good time, as a combination of torrential rain, and endless bank holiday traffic hold ups meant that it wook hours longed than we expected to get there.<\/p>\n

However once we were there it quickly became an immensely enjoyable evening.<\/p>\n

The reception was in a giant tent constructed from two tipis. We had enough time to set our equipment up and sound-check.<\/p>\n

We were also able to provide our PA for the wedding speeches and to use for the first dance and disco parts of the evening – courtesy of the groom’s ipod.<\/p>\n

Most exciting for us was the debut of Nick’s new blue plastic trombone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Astonishingly it sounds pretty indistinguishable from a traditional brass instrument. But it’s a shame you can’t get them in a 2-tone black and white check pattern.<\/p>\n

This is what we played. One highlight was one of the guests proving to be an accomplished rapper to Skaravan. Whether Duke Ellington would have approved is another matter …<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
