St Albans (Hertfordshire) - Gig Of The Week
I haven't posted a Gig Of The Week for ages, but ...
Yesterday, we got the train to St Albans, to see local chap (local here, not local there) Phil Mogg, and his band ...
UFO !!
Great fun gig. Complete nostalgic blast from the past. If anyone else knows UFO, they played the old favourites ... Lights Out, Only You Can Rock Me, Rock Bottom ... and Doctor Doctor for the encore.
If anyone knows St Albans, Phil Mogg said he'd been in a pub called The Boot. He said it had an open fire and a chocolate labrador. It sounded quaint. We didn't see it. Before the gig, we went in a nice place called The Peahen, and had a couple of bottles of vino.
I'd been to St Albans before, a few years ago, for a beer and cider thing, which was at the same place as the gig last night.
I'm becoming a regular.
St Albans also claims to have Britain's oldest pub (The Fighting Cocks), but we didn't manage to get there. Maybe we'll check it out next time we venture up north.
