Saturday's Alright for...... Bite - ing

Life is never easy , and gigging is just as difficult..sometimes.
During our welcome return to one of the bands fave pubs The Market Tavern we had a bit of a technical fault with our new smoke machine.We tried to sort out the problem but realised that we had a break in the remote cable , which meant we could n't get it to work...
So in stepped the Spartan Multi tool ( in the form of Kev)who disappeared with the control and returned 2 minutes later after chomping through the cable and re-connecting the offending wires and to our surprise it worked perfectly...till the end of the gig.
We had another great night at the Tavern , and we are really looking forward to celebrating the New Year at the Tavern this coming December 31st.

Thanks once again for another great night...

Wot a great afternoon

Trying to play a gig in Newcastle during the great north run ,was going to be a bit more difficult than usual.Transport was a big issue and parking was to be the second one.
After a few alteration to our travel plans we managed to get to the Star and prepare for an afternoon of rock.And for all the early birds who were in the venue they got to hear a very rough version of a new song we are dabbling with.
We love to play at the Star and would like to say a big Thank-you to all the staff, DJ Chris, and all the customers and a special thanks you to all the attenders from the Monday Night Rock Show( especially Lil Crystal, at her first Spartan gig)
We had yet another great afternoon at the Star, and cannot wait to be back there.......

Chambers Rock Night

Mick 'The Stick' goes Solo
Even getting to gigs is now becoming an event in it's own right.Mick tried his hand at a solo project on Friday, everyone else had turned up to Chambers except for Mick, who casually strolled into the venue and told us he had been waiting up the road outside a different pub ready to bring his gear in.Well needless to say after a quick relocation we started setting up , and all of us in the same pub, Chambers in Morpeth.
As it was our first time in Chambers we did not know what to expect ?
It was one of the best nights we have had , the atmosphere was great, Baz ( D.J.) made us feel so welcome, and the staff and the customers were truly fantastic. Spartan would just like to thank Baz, Brian and all the staff for their hospitality and we hope to see you all again soon( hint,hint)

Harperley Music Festival

The Grand Total
I just received this email and felt we had to share the news with you all.......

'I just wanted to thank you all for performing at the Harperley Music Festival in aid of Cancer Research UK. Everyone really enjoyed it, we have had a lot of positive feedback.

Because it went so well we are already thinking about holding another one next year, I hope we can count on your support.

Thanks to you we raised in excess of £3000 for Cancer Research. We did n’t expect to raise such a large amount so we are all delighted with the amount and how well the event went despite the rain and mud.

Thanks again.

All the best

Bill Burgess'
