Back To The 80s pre-Easter Special 24.3.2016

All round not a bad night. Not quite as many as previous pre-bank holiday events, but the pub ticked over very happily, and as per usual, once the alcohol had taken affect, the dancing took over the last part of the evening!

Many thanks for the major efforts by Tim for the excellent lighting and smoke, and to all those that made the effort to support the night, with special thanks to Katie for her birthday cakes. Yum!

Dark Nights Depeche Mode Black Celebration 30th Anniversary Show 4.3.2016

Not a bad night considering I've been at deaths door all week and came very close to cancelling due to ill health! I knew I'd be counting down the hours till I could get my sad carcass back to bed, but all in all, the night very quickly, with a busy start. Admittedly, this isn't one of my favourite albums from the Basildon boys. and Luton isn't exactly the DM capitol as far as fans are concerned, but I think the mix of music throughout the night seemed to work well.

Regardless, thank you all very much for those that did support the night and make me feel better for making the effort. Please note, our next venture into public will on Maunday Thursday 24th, where I'll be back in 80s mode for the 'Back To The Future 80s Special on 24th March.
