Absolutely brilliant. We gave a performance to be proud of. No silverware but after both displays we all felt good that no one had let us down and that we played the best we could. Afterall it is an annual inspection of the bands and a Festival of Music not a competition Ha ha ha..........
Many congratulations to Claire who played a difficult Philip Sparke solo...Manhatten. We were told she came 2nd so a big well done to her.
If there was a prize for the hardest partying band, we would probably have won that prize. Party started pre flight on thursday morning, ended last night (Sunday) No changes there then.
Best solo party animal all weekend must go to Wee Mac. What a star.

Happy memories eh Melchy

I'm always nice. Just sometimes I'm less nice than others.
I've never had a problem speaking my mind or giving credit where it's due and you deserve it gal.......

I was quite impressed with the fairy dust, even though it got in my eyes, knickers & bra.

I found some glitter in my ear this morning which was slightly disturbing

Still, it went with the lovely outfit though Mac - you should dress that way more often
