Gig Review - Sutton Town Centre - 20 December 2008

Afer the late cancellation of Bromley Town Centre the following day it turned out that the gig in Sutton was the last gig we would do of 2008. As with most town centre gigs (particularly the ones around Christmas) nothing went entirely to plan. When we got to Sutton a local church was setting up to perform a puppet show in which they 'spread the word' to songs that sounded suspiciously like "Stop In The Name of Love" by The Supremes and "Sweet Home Alabama/All Summer Long". Not that it mattered; Matt was delayed getting there so it was enjoyable watching Sutton's own version of Sesame Street from 3 metres away...

The weather was much better than last week's gig - in fact it was really mild for a change. As with our last two gigs we had very large crowds, despite the fact that we were playing much further down from our 'prime' spot further up the High Street.

Big thanks to David and Sprucy who came down all the way from Hertfordshire to see us play, hopefully we'll be playing at a venue a litle closer for you in '09!
