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 […]
The love and pain that goes into a new website
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 […]

Have you ever wondered ?
Approaching my 40th birthday this year, I have become strangely obsessed with certain things I have always found odd. Spending long hours on motorways usually late at night/ early morning, the brain has an amazing tendency to run wild. In fact, mine is often a cascading torrent of mainly useless pondering. These free thinking ponderous […]
‘depping, we’re ‘depping, we wanna ‘dep it wit ya
‘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 […]
Late night snackage
Ah, the sweet life of a function band musician. Means you get to try all manner of late night snackage, from a plethora of vendors. Top of the list has to be the garage. But where you used to be limited to a packet of ready salted and Mars bar from the night till, now […]
