C'mon Bill, tell them about the fancy-dress night at the
Covenanters in Newmilns with the drummer wearing the shorts....
...mm, then again, maybe you shouldn't bother.

This one was in the Pagoda Resturant in Carlisle,we were getting
dressed in the "Dressing-room" before starting when I took an
uncontrollable urge to empty my bladder into an empty pint mug.This
being done we went ahead and did our set. Ajourning back to the
dressingroom a couple of the local "shielas" came in,whom we'd met
before we started,they came in and started to chat when without
pausing for breath one girl said "Is this lager,I'm desperate for
a drink" and deposited a quarter of the contents of the aforementioned
pint mug down her throat before realising that something was sadly
wrong........................needless to say,none of the lads went
out with her that night !!!!!

| Back in the late seventies , when I'd just started gigging , my
band got involved at a local college's Christmas " do " . At the
time , we did a pretty lively version of "Stairway To Heaven "
( didn't everyone ? ) . Anyhow , during the last section of the
song , you know , the " And as we wind on down the road.." bit ,
we'd arranged to ahve a strobe light on us ( Woooooodstock ! ).
The vocalist decided to leap about the stage , in simulated slow
motion , which was fine until he leapt into the drums , sending
them over in a graceful , slo-mo topple.
Roadies galore came rushing on stage and stood them up again,
we finished the song , curtains came down to rapturous applause,
and just as the clapping died down , the drummer , who was none
too enamoured with the singer , shouts at the latter , " You
stupid f------- w----- !!!!!!" , not realising that the P.A. had
just relayed his measured opinion to the audience , which , on this
particular night , included parents .
We didn't get asked to go back the next year....strange that...
