Hydrant Gig Friday 14th May – And The Mandolin Debut

Dan's thinking of Spinal Tap right now, I can tell...if only I'd seen it I could laugh along too.

Good evening Stringband friends!

We’ve got a couple of fun gigs coming up for you this week whether you’re looking for a late night on Friday or a chilled music night on Sunday.

Friday

This Friday we’re playing for the first time at The Hydrant pub, on London Road. It used to be the Hare and Hounds and is fast becoming a hot spot for some of the unique Brighton bands such as The Bobby McGees who we saw playing earlier this year, and who were (as always) just bloomin’ brilliant!

It’s got the makings of a great night, least of all because we don’t have to get up for work the next day so can let our hair down.

Sunday

We’re back at The Foundry on the 16th which is a great night if you’re looking for something live and acoustic to make you forget about work the following day. Get down, try one of their amazing pizzas and relax with some twiddly-diddly guitar and  biddily-widdly banjo.

Other News

Last Sunday at The Hand in Hand I busted out my Mandolin for one song. I’m a total beginner and the guys are  encouraging, but they do insist that until I watch Spinal Tap, I’ll never really be part of the band. The Mandolin only gets me so far into the inner circle. One day, I will know what they’re talking about when they mention Stonehenge and start giggling till Dan can’t even drink his tea.
