The Archer Pub, South Ockendon

You know that Covid is loosening its grip when you can play again in your regular haunts, and after a few false starts we finally gigged at The Archer once more. It was a meeting with old friends. The large garden, the regulars, including the pub dog, and the good weather were all in place, not to mention the food and the beer. Our friend Colin was depping on bass for John and Jo is still singing from a chair but her ankle is definitely on the mend. We dusted down an old favourite for the occasion – ‘Smoke On The Water’. Love that riff!
