There's always some knid of drama when the Dreadz play in Wales. This time, the venue wasnt ready. It's a brand new venue, recently (VERY RECENTLY) refurbished old cinema that i used to go to when i was a kid, but it looks nothing like that now. so, they were still applying paint, fixing in the beer taps etc., and were supposed to open at 8.00pm. we arrived and were told it would now be 8.30pm, so me, Jill, Sally, Ian, Ian's lad Luke, and a bunch of other friends went to the local hostilery for a quick pint with Loki who filled us in on what was happening. Next we hear the club wouldnt be open till 9.00pm, so more drinks accompanied by the woeful chants of a lost international rugby game.
Eventually, Loki said he would get us in (this was nearly 10.00pm) and ushered us past the queue and into the venue. Very nice it is too, and very ermmm .... intimate!
the crowd were let in shortly after, and we had a nice chat with Chris C, Earl and Greg and Spee.
Jonny was working his arse off as the in-house PA system was not up to the mark so another one was brought in, which meant Dreadzone came on with no proper soundcheck, played the intro, and by the second number Jonny had it nailed ! what a sound! Spee got the whole cfrowd on side despite the setbacks and the place was rammed from front to back with the smiliest bunch of Cardiffians i think ive ever seen.
The guys did a storming set, made all the better when Spee dedicated MEAN OLD WORLD to Jill who was beaming !
Thank you all for a fantstic night. You never fail to amaze.
See you again in Gloucester.
