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 […]
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 […]
Just a short post. Really good gig at The Bull, Chislehurst (Aug 14 2010) Chris on Drums, Ben on Bass, Rozz on Vocal, Dave on Guitar. Silver Wedding Anniversary. Ben Ashby – Bass Guitar Thanks to Matt James Photography who took some amazing shots (www.mattjamesphotography.co.uk) Dave and Rozz Chris Wong – Drums
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
