Hebden Bridge
Apr 28 '09
What a drive, over five hours in the car, I was covered in chocolate peanuts that melted down my by crutch, not a nice sight. Peter Kay came to see us play, sadly he was bothered by local young drunks and he had to leave before the end, I was so upset. Our show was dusty and nervous again, well being on stage in front of Peter and me trying to make people laugh it was never going to be easy. He introduced us. He said….the man who put the fun in the word Funeral, the man who when he played Madison Square Garden never imagined he would end up here, welcome to the stage, if you can call it that, Mr ….. and so on. I laughed so much I could not sing for the first two verses of Cowboys. A third of the way through the set I heard Peter shout at the drunks, hey, he said, listen to the turn, what do you think this is a boot fair, and then he was gone. Then we were gone to our hotel across the street for some sleep, it was a long drive. Thanks to the Police man who made sure we found the hotel ok.

Hey Chris, my partner, Barbara, and I were at the gig and thoroughly enjoyed all three acts. Seeing Peter Kay was an added bonus but the evening was fantastic with or without him....apart from our friends the yobs! I can't understand why people pay to see an act and then talk through it, I can only assume that these guys were club regulars who were let in and hadn't paid, I suspect that's more likely, and why the hell the club stewards didn't do anything is beyond me. I'm sure, sadly, that Hebden will be off your list for return visits! All I can say Chris is that I'm sorry for the behaviour of a minority, everyone else really enjoyed the evening from what I could see. Barbara and I tried to boost artist funds a bit and bought your, Dorie and Ellas albums and Emilys EP and love 'em all! Thank you for a great evening but sorry again about the morons !
