Alford Gig II

It was a cool gig. We were set up in the dining alcove by 5pm, when some of us observed a civil wedding ceremony in the courtyard lying at the centre of the pub. Then it was time for a quick sound check, and then time to join the other diners out in the courtyard for a barbeque. There seemed to be more people around than there had been the Easter Saturday when we had last played here.

We were due to start at 8pm, the time the publican had advertised in weeks previous (she said she’d got “lots” of phone calls making enquiries). There were a few familiar faces, but there were lots that I didn’t know. People seemed to be coming in from surrounding towns in ones and twos. This is always a good sign.
