The Great Gig in the School

Not bad.

Tickets cost £3 each, not too much and all the money goes to charity, so I had no problem in chucking that amount away.

I'm not doing a review here, I'm just commenting on and scoring everyone who performed.

There were quite a few bands who played, but a few of them were mainly the same people with a few people changed around. They were all OK, but I think the best was a year 8 band, only consisting of two people! I don't know what they're actually called, but I like the name Short & Fat. They were great.

Most of the singing was alright, but nothing especially good, but all the instrumentals were excellent. Dan Mulligan - Brilliance. Playing the trombone, Dan really got the crowd going.

Dr Davison angered everyone by having the lights turned on every so often and issuing a warning about safety and how people were being too enthusiastic. Cretin. The tickets said the gig would last from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Obviously, it wasn't going to be exactly that long, and it actually ended at 9:20 pm, apparently as a result of Dr Davison getting too agitated and calling and end to the fun.

Then everyone went outside. Sam was cold, I gave her my scarf which she wrapped round her cold tummy (in her words), and she still has it, so I'll get it off her tomorrow.

And then there were three.

EDIT: The gig was meant to end at 9:30 pm, but the wrong time was printed on the tickets. So I assume Davison didn't really call it off, there just wasn't enough material to keep going. But what there was was good.

  • Dude! Did Davison really call it off when there was more to come?

  • Yeah. They were gonna finish off with a Muse song.

    The Short & Fat band were called My Influence. They have a website somewhere, I can't remember it.

    I know this because my sister is obsessed with them. Fucking groupie.
