We nearly did n't even get there...
Our trip to Hexham to play the Old Tannery was nearly the first cancelled gig of the year, this was due to the trailer that carries all of our gear decided it wanted a night off.Just outside out Hexham the main bearing on the trailer sheared and sent one of the wheels off in a different direction, luckily no one was hurt.Thanks to Mick who happened to be passing, the gear was re-arranged into the two cars and we managed to get to the venue a little later than planned.
Meanwhile at the venue ( Garry and Phil ) were sitting in a nice warm pub wondering where everyone was,and then the rest of Spartan turned up and told us the tale of their horrible journey.We thanked our lucky stars that no-one was injured as it could have been very serious indeed if it had happened a few minutes earlier when Kev was on the motorway, travelling at speed.
As a true professional Kev just unloaded the gear from the car and we started to set up ready for the gig.Although the pub was a little quieter, we still had a fantastic night and did not try to think about the incident that had preceded.Thanks to everyone who came out to see us on such a cold night, we hope we raised the temperature as we had a Great night....eventually.
But the SHOW must go on....
