Great Venue great staff great night all round

A big thanks to Keef for booking us we all had a fantastic night. A great place to play everyone really helpful and of course Keef on hand to make everything run smoothly. Its probably the most enjoyable weekend we have had with the band with a great night at the Vulcan on Friday too. We look forward to getting back to both venues soon. Thanks once again Keef

The thanks for last night are from us to the band. I had seen a sampler of the band at The Banner Xmas do and felt then they would appeal to the Eddy's usual crowd. The response from the regulars and those that chose to come down was nothing but highly complimentary. The lads arrived early, set up,sound checked without any fuss or bother. and kicked of a cracking night with a bit of AC/DC, The Who, the list goes on. Cracking first set that simply got even better as the gig went on. A very talented bunch of Muso's and a nicer more respectful bunch of blokes you could ever meet.
It was a real pleasure, privilege and honour to have them play at The Eddy.
They are assured of more bookings within the Rock and Ale venues as well as a slot at the upcoming charity weekend in may.
For the very first time, the Manager asked if we could pay them extra because they had put on such a great show. That pretty much says it all.
Venues, don't hesitate to get these guys on, Guaranteed crowd pleasers, whatever the customer mix. Thanks guys for a great night again and see you all soon. Don't forget to sort out available dates for the other venues we discussed.

Glad everything went well - it's a shame that we were working last night (1st gig since the hernia op!) so we couldn't be there (maybe next time?). It shows that you can't beat a touch of professionalism. You're also welcome back at the flats anytime :-)

I know Karen sounds like jacks coming on quickly but sounds like you could do with a rest from the noise
