Played our first ever gig in the Bay Inn last night, I had never actually been upstairs to the function suite before but it was just about right in size, and at least we gave the bar staff something to do.   We raised £400 for charity with ticket sales, raffle and donations,  so thank you to everyone who came along and contributed towards that.  It was also a very good night for After 8 Mince, a few gaffes and blips here and there but the thing is always to keep going.  We have been working hard on our spontaneous banter, and that seemed to make a big difference.  Paul took loads of photos but I have not been brave enough to look at them yet, it’s hard to control your double chin when you’re hitting top E.  Thanks also to the ladies of the band for all their hard work on the night.

On to other things though, there is a new series of Sarah Jane Smith starting on 11th October 17:15, but it’s not even on BBC1, it’s on CBBC.  What is going on? It’s an episode written by Russell Davies, this stuff should be prime time HD.  Hmmphh.
