Last night, The Love Junkies played Gaynes Park in Essex. The band turned up early to try out a new lighting rig. Having allowed enough time to give the system a proper workout, we got in a sound check and there-in commenced battle with the sound limiter. Booo! Pah! More frustration! Set very low, the […]
Tonight’s gig saw The Love Junkies in the depth of the Hertfordshire countryside in the (presumed) sleepy village of Ashwell. After a quick straw poll, we all agreed that we hadn’t played in a village hall for many a long year. Whilst this fact was not deemed to be hazardous to our existence as musicians, […]
One of the delights of this job is that you occasionally get to play weird and wonderful venues. Cue, Madame Tussauds this Thurs 7th October. This was a gig through agents Prelude and a ‘slap on the back’ type party for a company called Sodexo (we think). We’d played the same event for them last […]

Love Junkies – Guernsey 19th June, Dave, Rachel, Marcus & Chris Did you know the Love Junkies travel? If the last two gigs have been anything to go by this would seem to be becoming a habit. Have van, will travel, etc. And so it was, on a Thursday night in June, driving from St […]
We’ve been here before – March 2007 if memory serves. Templeton, Roehampton. A Sunday night in May before the Bank Holiday. A multi roomed, multi purpose venue, good for weddings, lots of rooms with quirky nooks and crannies. Bands get put in the Langdale room, which is for all intents a very large sitting room with a […]
The first website we produced for The Love Junkies was back in 2002. It was a small affair which fitted nicely into a 640×480 pixel screen. It was red, had a nice logo and got to the point. The point of course, that we are a great band who should be hired by you – the […]
Rox meets Andy Day from CBeebies. Hero worship ensues… Last night’s gig at Fanhams Hall in Ware was the wedding of Laura and Warren. The gig came through our singing buddy Doug Quinn. Doug is also in Speakeasy and joined us in the second set for a few tunes – we like when Doug sings […]
Weddings. There is always a plan. Timings are mapped out for the main events with everything considered, from the post ceremony drinks to the cutting of the cake; e.g. “Evening guests arrive at 7.28pm, the bride and groom are introduced for their first dance at 7.35pm, then the band at 7.39pm…” But excuse us for a […]
‘dep: short for Deputy, a person who steps in to take over a role or deputises for an absent or sick member. Every now and again, for whatever reason, there’s an LJ band member who just can’t make the gig. It’s not a big issue. It’s not the end of the world. We don’t go […]
