Dave the Sax lives over the road, so it was inevitable that we were going to play here at some point. Strangely it was due to us playing a charity festival and the band giving their time to help raise £6500 for a childrens cancer charity that took us down the motorway to Wakefield.
Pubs have had a rough old time the last 2-3 years and we are doing what we can to help them get back on their feet by offering a reduced fee for a first booking. This little diamond in the rough was an absolute gem.
The BBQ smelled amazing and the audience were terrific as were the hosts. The dance floor was packed from the first tune and there were plenty of Mods and Rude boys about. Some of us saw the old chestnut dance of #startingthechainsaw which went down a storm. Unfortunately one of the main dancers pulled a muscle and ended up in hospital, so we hope he’s better for Brid. A new number #Little Bitch saw its first outing at the end of the first set and seemed to go down well.
We hope they covered their costs and hope that we get an invite back there next year.
All the best Ossett
