The DCB played a blinder at the Rowell Charter Inn Beer and Music festival last night. We were originally due to appear at around tea-time but we were asked if we could play the final set of the evening instead.
The weather was typical for April, all showers and quite cool. However, this was mid-June! The bands play outside in the courtyard under a huge umbrella and the audience sit under awnings. Normally they keep the sun off, but not this weekend. They did however keep the worst of the weather out.
When we arrived the crowd was enjoying the music of the Branstown Band as they played a high quality set. All too soon it was our turn to take the stage, and with encores and requests our half hour set became 45-50 minutes.
It's amazing how far we've come in a few short months. All I can say is they ain't seen nothing yet! We've loads of ideas for songs that we can play in the DCB style, and we're looking forward to trying them out over the next few weeks and months.
We finished our set and Stevie Jones and Mark Gill closed out the evening with a fine set of songs. All in all, a great evening of music, good beer and free entry! The only thing missing was a fine mid-summer sunset. Ah well......
This was originally a blog devoted to The Dave Clemo Band. It's been defunct for over six years so I thought I'd resurrect it to blog anything and everything about my musical activities.
