Sumofly

Back at Sq1. It seems like ages since we've been here! Tonight we're doing sound and lights for the excellent Sumofly. We last saw these chaps (albeit with a slightly different line-up) at an outdoor event in Nantwich last year. Check them out if you can. AB is hiding behind the bass amp - can you spot him?

The Full Monty

At Crewe's Lyceum Theatre tonight to watch Scottish Chris in the amdram production of The Full Monty. Brilliant show, we really enjoyed it! Very brave boys!

Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival Day 3

Back in Middlewich (again) to look after The Generation at their MFAB debut gig at The Kings Lock. A great performance from this tight three-piece.

Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival Day 2

Back in Middlewich. First up, sound reinforcement for The Providence Jug Band at The Narrowboat. This superb veteran band followed our friend Hayley Strangelove who had kept the packed pub entertained earlier in the afternoon. PJB didn't disappoint either. They played a solid two-hour set and had the crowd baying for more. We then dashed to The Fox at Elworth to do sound and lights for Badger regulars Slug. As usual, Zeke and the chaps played a blinder!
Here's AB watching PJB's Keith with his tea-chest bass.

Alex & Martyn

Acoustic Addiction again! This time, it's Alex Tomkinson and Martyn Grey, fresh from their recent tour, with their often humorous take on a mix of classic tunes and TV ads.

Happier Badger

AB has cheered up! He's found an article in the paper about our next Acoustic Addiction gig (this Thursday, featuring Martyn and Alex). Happy days!

Alarmed Badger

AB has been reading the local rag - he's seen an article about a local badger sett being set on fire!! He's not very happy...

Crowned

Here's AB at the best boozer in town. The Crown next to the Municipal Buildings.

The Master

Slug @ The Crown. Zeke showed just how to be a rockstar. Loved it! Also, big praise to Terry Taylor, depping for Al. TT is a true guitarist. Quality.

Fowl

Foulplay back at The Imp. Nice to see some old friends. We got a bit pissed though... ;)

MezDesk

AB seems to like mixing desks; here he is having a look at Mez's desk.

Me Likey!

AB is very, very pleased with our new FOH desk. It's got loads of knobs! We road-tested it over the weekend at the Foulplay and SquareOne gigs and it performed excellently!

Our hero is trying to sort out the XLR's. What a job! His paws are getting sore....

Festival Season

Summer's here and it's festival season. AB is trying to choose a tent on t'interweb. He's a bit confused though, as he's used to living in a sett. Decisions, decisions....

Busy Afternoon!

Three bands this afternoon at a very busy showcase gig at Square One. First up, Sink or Swim. Then Rockwood, and last, but not least, Interception. All three bands played their hearts out to a packed venue. AB is pictured with musicians Olly and Jazz...

Colin Cook's Cosey Club Caper
