Gig Reviews 2010
Old Oscott WMC - 06/03/2010
2B40
It was a cold night and we felt it while getting the gear into the club. A flight of metal stairs on the outside of the club, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Once in and set up it was ok until we discover that a Country/Irish duo are on the same bill? OMG it was like sardines on that stage lol, we got away with it. Dunno how they billed it as it was just like a regular Pheonix Nights do and not a UB40 Tribute night? They even played bingo? I thought them days were over now doing this Tribute, how wrong I can be.
They kicked off with their silly hats and funny songs, they were quite good? They were called Ryan & Taylor, they had a few dancers but when we took the stage the dance floor was filled to capacity for the rest of the night. Had some nice compliments afterwards and interest from another venue, Great Barr District WMC I think that's what he called it?
Looking forward to next Saturday at Bournville Social & Working Mens Club, I have heard that it is almost sold out. See you there.

Well what can we say, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU for making this a fantastic gig, Thanks to Johnny green for supporting us, Thanks to All the Lads & Lasses from The Camp, Thanks to Steve & Carol for making the trip from Kings Norton (Bloody miles away?) lol, Thanks to the bloke from solihull who brought his missus down for her birthday, Thanks to Roy, Ian & Sam from Redstone Caravan Park for supporting us, Thanks to Anne & all her friends, Nev and all the promoting he and Julie did for us, The Blonde girl who danced all night in front of Will and put him off his stroke, the lads who asked for autographs (We'm Famous lol) and last but not least the 4 jokers in the corner who actually phoned me up from the gig and told us to get on stage ha ha, seriously the 2 girls danced all night and joined in with some singing, you were brilliant.
What a gig for us, nice and loud playing to a packed house we really enjoyed the hour and forty five minutes as much as the audience seemed to, got some good video footage which should be on Youtube and the website shortly. Hope to see you all again next time at The dogpool on 24th July and Christmas Eve. Thanks everyone.
Yardley Wood Social Club - 14/02/2010
Full Circle
This was the last Sunday gig down at Yardley Wood as like many other clubs, they just aint getting the people in and cant afford to pay the bands? Anyway we left them wanting more after two stonking sets of classic songs. Dance floor was packed and the MC reckons we will be back there as Full Circle in the future? We are back at Yardley Wood in November but with 2B40 so look out for that one it is gonna be great.
The Station, Telford - 03/02/2010
2B40
Never done a gig on a cold wet wednesday afternoon before? It was Kad's 40th birthday bash, Kad is the landlord and his daughter Mica and wife Nikki booked us to play for him and his regulars. What a great crowd and a brilliant atmosphere, we got the place Skanking from the first song, Present Arms right through to the last encore, One In Ten. Johnny green came along and did the sound for us and he was brilliant too. Kad thought we were better than one of the top UB40 tribute bands but I can't mention any names?????? Should be back down the station later in the year for a night time gig, Can't wait.
Bournville Social Club 30/01/2010
Daz solo gig
Got this gig in just a couple of weeks before by ringing up the club and speaking to the Entertainments Secretary Jimmy Mac. He had a free night he wanted to fill so without even hearing me before decided to take a chance. Well what a night we had, I filled the dance floor for most of the evening and had them all singing along to nearly every song I sang. I had some lovely comments after I had finished and they can't wait for my return. The best comment was from one of the staff. Quote " I have worked in this club for seven years and you are the best singer I have seen down here". Well thank you very much that means so much and I cant wait to play down at Bournville again.
Brandhall Labour Club 02/01/2010
Daz solo gig
Fantastic gig, the people at this club are all lovely and always make me feel welcome. My close friends Ian, Roy and Trevor came down tonight as well and cheered me on. It always makes me laugh as there isn't really any room to dance at Brandhall but they still manage to find a spce to strut their stuff.
