A night with a difference. Basildon Towngate Theatre is one of the easiest venues from the touring musician's view. You can drive up to the unloading bay and almost drive onto the stage. No steps anywhere! As you can see from the photos the audience is very close to you which also adds to the expreience.
However, we had to change things around last night because Cosy had another engagement so Willie played drums for most of the set, except when he played his own songs and my son Chris played. Now Chris is a big lad, well over 6 feet tall with dreadlocks down to his waist. He usually plays in rock bands so it was quite a challenge for him, and I'm pleased to say he passed with flying colours.
We had to change the running order slightly, but we've now reached the point where we can take these things in our stride. Which is a long way from where we were two weeks ago!
Next stop Hayes.
