Bebside 29/03/08








OH What a Night !!!!!
The Bebside was on Top form last night,we all had a great time there when we played last,but last night was Fantastic.We were so taken back by the reception that we got,We would like to thank you all for making it one of the Best gigs Kev was on top form and from the off we all knew we were gonna be working our little socks off ( he's a hard task master you know ).Kicking off with 'tush' the place started jumping and I don't think it stopped until we had loaded all the gear away in the early hours.Wot's the deal with this clock's going forward cos' it killed us last night,But who cares ???
Gazza and Mick had been scaling new heights last night (have a closer look at the photo's)Spotted Phil 'the wedge' doing his trademark 'Flamingo Stance' during one of his solo's and Kev never mentioned Hob-Nobs during the whole set( a REAL FIRST ).We would just like to say 'thanks' to you all who made last night such a great night for us and we had a absolute blast and hope to do it all again Real Soon.

Birthday Bash - The Market Tavern 15/03/08





Well we were totally taken by surprise last night, we had no idea that The Market Tavern and all of our Spartan Friends would go to so much trouble.The Market Tavern had always had a special place in our hearts as you have always made us feel so welcome every time but last night was just FANTASTIC.


As we entered the pub we all noticed the happy 1st birthday banners on the walls and the card and badges that we were given to wear with pride.The let battle commence after the end of the first set the lights stayed down and we were presented with a Birthday Cake,this was really unexpected and took us all by surprise,Would just like to say a Big 'Thanks' to the management, staff and all the loyal Spartans who have made this first year so special we can't thank you enough.It was really good to catch up with you at half time and ave a chat,we were chatting so much that we did n't get back on till a bit later that usual but made up for it as we could n't cut the set short (You would n't let us anyway).Words will never be able to convey what we were all thinking but let's just say The Market Tavern is one of the friendliest places that we could ever wish to play and we can't wait to be back there as soon as we can.

Many Thanks from

Gazza , Kev , Mick & Phil
