Last night to The Railway Hotel to see some old mates play. The Get,
who I have known for something like 36 years, and who I once guested with on
stage, were the first on upstairs at said hostelry. My only memory of that guest
appearance was that I played harmonica - I cannot recall whether it was for
just one song, or a few of them. or even what songs were played. I recall that
it was at the Thorpedene Community Centre in Shoeburyness. It must have been
either 1981 or 1982. I digress.

| The Nightingales |
There have been a couple of line-up changes over the years, but there
are still three originals - Bruce Gordon on vocals, Gary Smith on guitar, and
Jon Smith on drums.
There's was a short set, and did not quite have the bounce of earlier
performances, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I am looking forward to their next
gig.
Next up was The Faux, a Fall tribute act. Loved their version of Totally
Wired.
The Nightingales headlined, who were new to me. They were interesting,
and I will have to dig out some of their material.
I do not watch that much live music nowadays, but when I do I realise
how much I miss it.
