Dreadzone !

Our first date of the Autumn Tour couldnt have started better! We drove to Porthcawl to drop our car at a friends (Mike and Sam say thank you Dreadzone! they were over-awed!) who would then drive us to Swansea. Parked up in a VERY secure car park and walked to the venue a few hundred yards or so. Lovely woman in the box office was convinced we were trying to blag our way in until Loki came and sorted things out. much love mate. (Disco) Stu was on merch. Hadnt seen him since Swindon 12Bar gig. And what a lot of merch! Make sure you bring plenty moolah to the gigs coz there are new tings to buy and treasure. Thats all I'll say! Chatting with Loki and Stu then Greg knees me in the back of the knee not knowing bout my old bones and sciatica! Lots of warm and friendly chat then Loki sweeps us upstairs where we find the rest of the band (minus Earl burst boiler?!?!) huddled in their coats in the mingingest dressing room ive ever seen ! Spee was on top form and very entertaining despite still being in very obvious pain with his old bones too!
Gave them some respectable space before the gig and went downstairs and continued to knock back the sneaky whisky until the band came on, and EVERYBODY in the club surged to the front. And so it began ; all the faves and the new tunes sending the crowd into blissful frenzy. I took some pics and vids and looked around the room and there was not one person who wasnt groovin on the Dreadzone sound.
Gonna do it again on 22nd November.
