Popular and successful function band “Soul Doubt”, of which I am tearfully delighted to be a member, played a fantastic gig at The Old Assembly Rooms in Newcastle on Saturday last.
It's an impressive room to play in, and all who attended the Ball were clearly in the mood to have fun. This is absolutely the way we like it.
The band itself was lacking two important members, and so things felt a little different. In particular, we had a new chap on the drums. Phil is the new drummer in question. He's great, and did exceptionally well for his first time out with us. Andrea, our resident Sax player, was also away, and so we enjoyed the tunefulness of ...erm... someone else.
He was great. No, really he was. I liked him. He even told me the name of Courtney Pine, whom I had temporarily forgotten. Maybe I should have asked him for his own name?
N.B. I wish to point out that I implied that I had a lot to tell, and not that any of it was interesting.
Justin - the stand in for Andrea on the sax is called Justin. Excellent guy, excellent player and he thinks the backing singers are fabulous.
