It was a bit different
this week...
Rather than just a Band, the Bit in the Middle & a few Records...
This week the Feast Committee treated us to a
Band, the Bit in the Middle & a few Records...but with a theme..!
The
theme for this week was the 60's. Real Numbers agreed to change their
name to "Groovy Numbers" and
do a live Set of 60's songs, although as Roger, the singer said about
one particular number...
"This
record is from the late 60's, round about 1973 in fact..!"
However,
the mere mention of The 60's, arguably the "Golden Era of Pop
Music" and people come, hence PURE & The Feast had
one of the most successful evenings yet with nearly 100 in attendance
and some of them even breaking into a Dance later on in the evening...!
THE
BIT IN THE MIDDLE
L!VE G!Gs @ PURE
proudly present
"The Bit in the Middle"
 Oh
no...
Not
them again..
The Max Sax Duo made interesting viewing this week as they
"murdered" some classic 60's Songs such as "Whiter
Shade of Pale" & "Happy Together".
You would have thought it hard to forget the words to "Tequila"
but they managed it. It is difficult to tell if The Max Sax
Duo are just "bad" or are in reality a comedy duo..!
However, help came in the form of an inebriated Elvis fan
who lifted the session with a traditional Pub rendition of
that classic 60's Elvis song called "Suspicious Minds".
You've got to laugh haven't you..?;-)

So
back on came "Groovy Numbers" with their Rolling Stones
and Beatle Classics as the now warm audience danced,
sang, clapped, did the Mash Potato, the Locomotion, the Hand Jive
and all them other whacky 60's shapes.
On the subject of "Whacky", on this day the Government as
good as legalised Cannibis which was in many ways, the big deal of
the 60's.
Any road up...
As
James our reviewer was once again busy I am forced to come up with
a few words to describe the evening but am struggling now so here
are some Drummer Jokes.
Sorry Andrew...;-)
What do Ginger Baker and canteen coffee have in common?
They are both crap without Cream.
How
many drummers does it take to change a light bulb?
None: they have a machine to do that now.
How
can you tell a drummer's at the door?
The knocking speeds up.
Again, how can you tell when a drummer's at your door?
He doesn't know when to come in.
How can you tell when the drum riser is level?
Drool comes out of both sides of the drummer's mouth.
What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend? - Homeless.
What's
the last thing a drummer says in a band?
"Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?
What do you call a drummer with half a brain? - Gifted.
Why to bands need Roadies? - To translate what the drummer says.
Two drummers walk into a bar... which is funny because you would have
figured the second one would have seen the first guy do it.
