This was hilarious at the time - until we were about to leave!! we were setting up the night before the wedding gig and we had the marquee to ourselves. So we cranked it up and played a few songs. And then it was onto the lighting - in the package came a smoke machine. This is us trying it out - as I say hilarious until we were about to leave and we couldn't see the far end of the tent!!

I love being in a rock band - it's the greatest thing ever. Last night we played at Becky Martin's wedding (her sisters Polly and Ellie work for us). It was a big affair in a marquee near Port Isaac. Just the greatest experience - you get a good crowd and it fires you up. The floor was packed to overflowing, everyone jumping up and down - the end was, well to be up there in front of such an audience, very special night. Tim the Bride's father, he came up for a impromptu rendition of Crazy Little Thing, the power went off six times, we were playing our guitars on our knees in the middle of the fenzied crowd - it was all happening!! 

It was a great outcome - there's real pressure when you play a wedding, you desperately want it to go well for the bride and groom on their big day, and add to the occasion. We got the right result. It was pretty wild!!
