Last night I played with "Sarge and Rennocks Lonely Hearts Club Band" a soul / blues / swing band from Coalville, Leicester. Dean Sargent (who I was covering for) and Mark Rennocks are both members and friends of the Desford band, and it was a pleasure to help them out.
Last night's gig was a fundraising bash at Leicester City's football stadium (in a hospitality suite, not on the pitch itself!) for a friend of the band's cancer charity. We played 2 sets, which were oddly divided by an entire evacuation of the venue due to some idiot from another event in the place smoking in the toilets. We were stood outside in the rain for half an hour waiting for the all clear!
Take a look at their Myspace page, and have a listen to the tracks that you can listen to there. These were recorded at my first rehearsal, that's my high note at the end of "The Letter!". There's also a superb rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" sung by Lucy, the youngest of the three backing singers.
The band did a great job. 500 people had a great time listening to the band nail some brilliant music. I loved it - hopefully I'll get the call again sometime!
Cheers Steve - my sentiments entirely - you were great - hope to work together again soon
all the best
John
