SPARTAN-POWER











Life is full of Surprises
And the Old Tannery, gave us a new one on Saturday.Ploughing through the set we had just finished the second song then...Without any warning we lost all the power to the P.A.( for a while we thought it was going to be an all acoustic set, but after a few minutes we managed to re-instate the power to all of the effected units and continued with the set without any more upsets.
Well we do have our moments ??? and loosing all the power was a new one on us, but we managed to get back into the flow of the night and ,turned around what could have been a disaster into another night of Spartan Classics.
All the lads would like to thank Gaz and all the customers at the Tannery for a great nite
SPARTAN POWER .......is back to stay

Like a Proud Dad











Kev was all smiles
As he drove up to the Travellers Rest, with the New Spartan Trailer in tow.Pleased as punch did n't describe the smile on his face, 'You can hold a dance in it, if you want' Kev said.So a much easier lug into the gig,was to be our reward.
After an easy set up we started the first set, and went for our new 'All Classic' set , lots of every one's favorite tunes backed into the first 45 minutes.The Hamster with his new toy ventured behind the bar for a quick half, shame he can't pull a decent pint though !!!.
A brief 15 minutes off and we blasted into set number 2 , and what do you know , it's had ended our night at the Travellers Rest ( the night just went ).Many Thanks to Karen and John, you do a great job and always make us feel so welcome, Kev says 'Cheers for the new light-bulb'.
We will be back real soon, @ the Travellers Rest , and hope to see you all then......

A Warm Welcome @ The Fellsider


A new Venue .. for us
Well even though it's coming up to the bands second year of gigs , we still get the jitters at a new venue.But the Fellsider made us feel so welcome you would have thought we were the resident band and not a first timer to this amazing venue.
We would like to thank Sarah, all the staff and the customers at the Fellsider, 'You really made our night, something to remember' said Kev.We decided to go for an all out Classic line up of tunes to get everyone in the mood, and to chase away the thoughts of the cold night outside,and we are glad to say it worked a treat.
It's not very often that you get to play 5 encores but last night was one of the best nights we have had,and we hope to be asked back later in the year, for SPARTAN II ( The Sequel ).

Thanks for a really Great Nite ...........

The Fellsider Rocks.........
