Millhouse Social Club, Dagenham

New venue, new songs! Tonight, we aired for the first time, ‘The Wonder of You’, with Martin on vocals, capturing the velvet tones of the master excellently. Our policy of ‘No music stands, no lyric sheets, no tablets, means we had to learn all the chords and all the lyrics in two days, and although its nerve-wracking at times, once performed it in public it gets bedded in quickly and it’s as if we have always played it. We got a good crowd for the circle and willing dancers to join in the finale, which included a rapidly learned, ‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles, a homage to a fine footballing legacy. We will be back later in the year.
