The Railway Bromley 22nd May
It was a bit of a rollercoaster ride leading up to this gig. When we got a call saying the gig was cancelled because the Railway might be closing, we were all pretty p!$$£) off. But next day the gig was back on again and the pub had got a temporary reprieve. Nearly having the gig cancelled really brought it home to us how much pubs like the Railway mean to bands and gig goers. It may not be the biggest or smartest venue in the South East but it always has a good crowd who like their music loud and Tony the promoter has worked really hard to get good bands in there. If you're ever in Bromley, Kent in the evening, check it out to see what bands they've got on. I can recommend it 'cos it's one of my favourite local pubs.
So after a quick change of strings, a polish of the ivories, an extension on the drum-kit and a spray with wd40 voice lube we were ready. When we got there, we set up, sound checked, and some of the band went off to do their hair, while others went off to buff their heads. If you've seen us live you know who I'm talking about. By the time we started at 9.45 the place had a good buzz and the two hour set just flew by all too quickly. Highlights were: the "extra" from Saturday night fever dancing at the front. I don't know who you were man, but you could give John Travolta a run for his money. the crowd at the front during Here I go again. You were singing so loud I could here you even above Rhys' guitar. the guy who was salivating over Bronja's keyboards. Or at least that's what I think he was looking at! A big thanks to you all for being there, it was great. And a big thanks to Tony for all the hard work organising it all. We'll be back in October. Long may the Railway stay rockin'. Peter
