Shepherd Neame Brewery, Faversham. A rescheduled Christmas party, a perfect venue plus ‘The Love Junkies’. Certainly, there’s no shortage of beer here. In fact we’ll wager that we’d have all been able to get free top-ups all night… that is if we hadn’t had to work. Dave opted for the Master Brew, Andee P, taking […]
Love Junkies on Tour: Part 1 Southern France
Rozz and Jimmy – It’s a funny old game… Ah June, and the first part of our European Sojourn. Chateau De Massillan, near Uchaux, France the wedding of Victoria and Oliver. And did we mention meeting Jimmy Greaves to boot? The Bride and Groom had seen us at a friend’s wedding at the Royal Chace in […]
Big hand for the band, yaboosucks to the M25
Sunday. It was a day that had we known what was waiting for us, could’ve struck fear into all of our hearts. As it was though, I am able to write this knowing that our duties despatched, The Love Junkies rose through the storm to deliver.
Flip flops and Saw Doc’s
I wouldn’t say it’s been a harsh winter gig-wise but January and February have been a bit quiet on the wedding front so it was nice to get back into the swing of it again with Charlotte and John’s wedding at Brocket Hall. For couples worried about their guests feet during dancing, here’s an idea. […]
Panto season lures away Bass players
Just what is it about bass players and pantomimes? Like proverbial moths, fluttering over to a naked candle they are all drawn by the lure of regular Christmas work. ’tis the season, and all that we suppose. This is all very nice for the bassist, oh yes, nice sit down in the pit, plundering bass […]
Is it right to charge to learn a new song?
Here’s one that I’m going to put out to the function band community. Is it right to charge for learning a new song for, say a wedding? A song that you’re very unlikely to play again and is not in keeping with the rest of your set. This issue is salient for the hirer also. […]
The Love Junkies and Love Live Music
We’re pleased to announce a new relationship with agents ‘Love Live Music’. Our first gig for the agency, run by Sally Freeman was on Saturday night at the Merchant Taylors school. The gig was a fund raiser and dinner for the Scrummers, Rugby Club.
Nice little touches
It’s the little touches that make all the difference. Last Friday’s gig saw us back at Tewin Bury farm for the wedding of Elizabeth and Paul. Generally when we come across something we like at a wedding, something that’s a bit out of the ordinary we like to carp on about it. This wedding had […]
Waxing lyrical
Ah, Madame Tussauds. It’s been absolutely ages since I’ve been there and was wondering if the old place had changed at all? The answer to that as I found out was well, yes and no. The celebrities are still in force, only they’re not the same as in 1979. Well, apart from the historical figures […]
Hats off to the band
Sometimes, articles just speak for themselves. If the wedding’s over-running by an hour, the band happen to be twiddling their thumbs and are holed up in a changing room, they might just get creative…or likely, just start fooling about a little. *The Love Junkies would like to make it clear that no hats were harmed […]
