A couple of Sundays back I found myself in the Cornucopia pub in Southend, where I was greatly impressed by the band ("Not Dead Yet").

I've just found out that someone there had a video camera, and has put their performance on Youtube. I think that this is a great deal better than most of what's on the radio these days. What does everyone else think?

Aaagh!

The link hasn't worked!!!!

Hang on a moment, please!

Another try!

It is a pity that it is a badly filmed clip - I can't really decide if I like them or not.

Anyhow I am tired and am off to catch Frankie to give him his inhaler before bedtime. It is amazing how fast a cat can move when they don't want to do something.

Night all

You're really getting old when you can't tell the guys from the gals, Doc!


Take a look here ;-)

Ok, he's talented but I wouldn't have stayed long, Trim!
(Not my 'cup of tea'!)

liked them Chris, love a live band in a pub.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Toff.

It's a tiny pub

The band takes up nearly half the floor space! They play just for the fun of it, rather than to make money. (The band includes two of the 79-year-old landlady's sons, plus her grandson).

Unfortunately, there aren't many bands who'll play for just a few free drinks, Doc. We do have one or two pubs around here in Suffolk where you can often find impromptu performances from folk musicians but most bands want more money than the pubs can afford. (I can understand that people who are semi-pro musicians need to be paid but it's still nice to find a few people who play just for fun).
