It was a brilliant game, we won 3 0. Played with new tactics, 4 4 2 with a high press, no playing out from the back. They couldn't handle it. Everybody played well. Had our final band practice on Thursday before Friday's first gig. The day before me, Tony and Mike all got cramp in our fingers so I invested in some electrolyte tablets that seemed to do the trick. Madeline is a lot better now she's on penicillin. Cracking up had their first gig on Friday in The Castle Tap. We got there about 17 45 to set up and it took a couple of hours. There was a good turn out of friendly faces and it went down really well in spite of a few glitches. I wasn't nervous until it came to singing my first number and my right leg started shaking. Got through it though and after a couple of numbers the shaking stopped. Didn't drink any alcohol. Here's the set list. We didn't do the * ones to keep the time down to 45 mins each. We had our second gig the next day at The Cherry Tree in Stoke Row in the afternoon. This was a family fun day charity event. Apart from us  there was children's entertainment, 2 friends of Mike's known as the Undisguised, goats, sheep, rabbits and a pony. It went well again but I did snap 2 strings and we had a power cut. No alcohol again apart from a pint afterwards. A good start to the day on Sunday finished all the crosswords and quiz before we got up. Then put the gear away and chilled. Madeline had her first train ride.
