Like being at Glastonbury.....
Rain nearly stopped it all before it had even started, but in true British fashion the guys at Cancer Research were not going down without a fight.The bands started from 5pm with Axis, followed by Special Needz ( cheers to Scott for the lend of the gear).Then Free & Company took to the stage, after a quick set up it was time to be SPARTAN-ISED.
We had decided to go for an 'Old School' set with some good old tunes to keep the rain off, we opened with 'Tie ya mother down' and in true festival mode the crowd went wild the songs came thick and fast after that White Room, Black Night and By the way made an appearance.
The time just went and before we knew where we were it was last song time, the now Traditional 'Where's ya mamma Gone' sing along was dropped in as a segway to our last number Down to the Doctors( which we thought was to be our last) but we could not leave without at least one encore so we ended with Wishing Well.
The highlight of the gig was watching Mick climb on the back of the drum kit, only to be met by Phil climbing up the front of it which resulted a strange guitar/drumstick playing end to our set.
Spartan would like to thanks the following people for all their help on the day Bill & Jean and the Cancer Research road crew, Barry ( & the sound guys ) for making us sound great, Axsis, Special Needz, Free & Company and Floyd 2, & the Spartan Army out in full force who all played their part in raising money for such a great , under funded cause.
