The Market Tavern 26th July

Garry was completely right after our third song in when he said 'It was good to be HOME' the sentiment that was shared by all in SPARTAN, this is one of our favorite places to play and it just gets better each time we do it. We played the Market Tavern as one of our first gigs and we have never looked back since,the atmosphere is always fantastic and the welcome is second to none. We spotted some familiar faces in the crowd there on Saturday and must apologise if we did n't get a chance to speak to you all but you did keep us on stage for a total of four encores ( you tinkers).

We had an absolute ROCKIN time at the Tavern need to say a BIG 'Thank You' to all the loyal Spartan Army ( Bedlington Brigade )for their support and on a personal note Garry would like to tip his cap to Tony ( The Legend )for all of his kind words and Kris from (www.black-road.co.uk)for his continued support of all things Spartan.

Travellers Rest, Burnopfield 19th July

Home turf,well for 3 of us anyway

The band would like to thank John and Karen at the Travellers Rest for making us feel so at home and for the hospitality they showed us on Saturday, we had a great night at a great venue.As three of us are local to the area it was a great night and we were able to see some familiar faces in the crowd spurring us on.
For those of you who could not make it you missed some new material in the second set( not gonna say too much ) and a slightly revised first set.Thanks to all of you who came out to see us, we need to support a venue like this as they are trying to get music back on the map and are doing it at their own expense.
so KEEP MUSIC LIVE'N'LOUD AT THE TRAV'S.

The Jolly Miller 5th April

WE DID N'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT BUT...
Playing a new venue is always an adventure, and last night was no exception.Garry and Phil managed to get lost on the way to the venue and thanks to some helpful people they managed to get there after all the gear was inside ( well planned Phil )
We were made most welcome at the Jolly Miller and would like to say a big thank you to Lee and all the staff and customers who made last night for us.


Tried a new song in the set last night which was 'Vertigo' by U2 which went down very well for a first outing,we had a great night and can't wait to see you all back there in October for
SPARTAN II.......THE RETURN TO THE JOLLY MILLER
