oops - time flies when ur err, doing bugger all :)
Hi there folks
OK before I start - Hello Libby :) There thats that done - proof positive I have fans on both sides of the Atlantic - leave a message or there will be biiiig trouble :)
So - Friday last week - Morgans - unusally it was pretty busy. Fiona (hi) had an Ann Summers party at her place, and half way through the night I got a text asking how busy the pub was. 30 minutes later and the place looked like a brothel (not that I`d know the internal workings of such a place). Mrs Summers must have made quite a lot that night due to the amount of rather interesting attire that was on show. Was a good night, no hassle, good crowd and highly enjoyable. Hopefully the pubs on the way back up.
Saturday was an 18th for a friend of mines girlfriend. It was in a village hall and was a bring your own bottle job - which usually spells disaster - avid readers will remember the post about the 60th birthday party ......
Anyways - my mate, Sean, well err, how can I put this .... he likes to party and last time I was out with him we found him slightly inebriated in a flowerbed face down lol.
But this night he was on his best behaviour - apart from mixing weird cocktails in the kitchen. Vodka, Pink Lemonade and Coke. Sounds vile - trust me - its amazing.
Another quality night, with no trouble which for an 18th is unheard of. OK some girl did redecorate the ladies toilets with the innards from her stomach, but girls will be girls lol.
Who knows what this weekend has in store.

Its all back to normal (sort of)
Well yeah ok its Tuesday and I am a few days late with the blog - sorry 2 all the fans who missed out (ok, fan - Hi Fiona :) lol).
Friday night was in the Market Inn way down in Ayr - a disco karaoke for a 30th. Great night, and a big shout to Louis, the (I think) 11 year old who was amazing at singing and just having the bottle to get up and do it - put the adults to shame! I dont usually enjoy karaokes but this one was quite fun. My mate Dazza P was there with his new (well new to me) girlfriend. he always gets the nice ones. Their night was cut short unfortunately by some clown who was waving his tie around on the dance floor and managed to hit her on the eye. Quality job there fella. Idiot.
Saturday night was a family party for a surprise 40th. Good night, quiet and they just wanted background music, and and early finish, which was fine all roads round with everybody. Spiced up the night a wee bit by playing party games with the kids which ended up a good laugh as we bullied some of the older kids to play.
Sunday was my friends Nicole`s daughters party (Happy birthday Katie). Was great, right up to when I switched on the amp and it decided to blow the fuse. So we had a 10 minute break with no noise as another amp was hurried along to us by the boss - who had just flown back from Saudi and was still in holiday mode. Party was quiet, kids had a laugh though, mother suitable stressed to the max, hoping for the end and 1 hour closer to a good drink. It was fine and went just like most kids parties - she needn`t have worried. More kids would have just stressed her more. On the good side I got to meet her pal Jacqueline - a lot nicer than her pics, so who knows where that`ll take us.
Bedtime soon - off to sunny (or snowy) Dundee tomorrow.

Usual Weekend of Madness
It always happens - the boss goes on holiday and the fan gets covered in brown stuff.
No sooner than he flew out, it all started to show up as a weekend of chaos.
The kids party I was meant to be doing on the Sunday got cancelled, and the friday night gig I was doing in Morgans also was cancelled as Rewind was on so I was not there, but the boss thought I was. Luckily I had a kids party 5:45 till 8 so it wasnt all bad. Spent the rest of Friday night out in the van picking up the other discos and fixing all the other problems - broken laptops, blown speakers - every nights a party night when the boss is away lol.
Saturday was a 21st, a disco karaoke. Went well but as with all usual 21st`s everybody leaves about 1130 to hit a nightclub, and that night was no exception.
Hopefully this coming weekend I will actually get all my gigs to play.

Its Like Christmas outside
Whoohoo - its snowing - get the scarf and mittens out!
Well ok - its not *that* heavy - yet - according to the all knowing weather folk its to get worse.
So - weekend - Friday was in Morgans - was quite a busy night and was ok but for obviously the usual minority who are intent on acting like cocks.
Some guy who was acting like said cock kept coming up to me and asking for songs - which were playable and so he got some of them on. Then near the end of the night he comes up and told me I played good music and he wanted to kiss me on the forehead! Err thanks mate, but shaking my hand would have done. He tries this of course right at the time theres a steward standing next to me, then as he`s grabbed by the steward, he decides to try and have a go at him and pull his tie. After being given a lecture on how to calm down, he disappears into the crowd.
Not for long though, as 2 minutes later, I look up, see a pint tumbler being raised aloft and casually flung at said nutter. Cue ensuing mini pub riot and and early finish.
Saturday afternoon was a kids party for one of the companies karaoke girls - it was her sons party. Good time was had by all - great bunch of kids and all of them well behaved (unlike next weeks party eh Fi lol). As per usual FAR FAR FAR too much food was made and most of it will prob still be getting used as playpieces for the next day or 2.
Saturday night was a 21st for a girl in West Kilbride, and also her sisters 20th. Was quite a good night and ran quite smoothly. Some older woman kept annoying me to play The Wonder Of You, right in the middle of the dancey stuff - which I was quite glad about when asked the girl how she wanted to end the night - RunRig being the obvious and usual choice. She vetoed the Elvis track so unfortunately I ran out of time to play it. Aww! lol
Sunday was a catch up on housework day - changed the bed, did the washing, hoovered, done the dishes, hung up washing, emptied the bins, cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen and all other wee bits and bobs i had to do. Something else was meant to be happening later, but didnt which upset me a bit, but more on that topic later, if it ever amounts to much.
Well, I am away to play in the snow before it melts.
