Dancing Dales
The Bonny Moorhen, Stanhope, Sunday 11th July 2010. Always a pleasure to do this gig seeing as we know half the town. Woody took the scenic route and we were set up with plenty of time to spare for a bit crack with the locals while The Doors album, LA Woman, played over our PA and drifted into the beer garden which was now sundrenched. Chris did us all a favour and brought his number one fan with him. Not that leggy blonde that follows him around but the type you plug in and keeps you cool on stage. As anticipated, there was an excellent turn-out and atmosphere as we kicked off at 4.30pm to ensure we were finished before the World Cup Final. Chucked in We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, a new one for the current band line-up but this song was a set regular in the first incarnation of Tubesnake back in the 90’s. A great gig and a great day out in Stanhope! … Lenny
