Title: Swindon gig last night (Friday)
Post by: Guzzmonster on Sat, 2005-10-15, 23:01:17
How bloody small was that !!!!

Other than that,it was a top night out in deepest Swindon!
Fantastic support from Credo,pugging thier new cd,Rhettoric,which is rather good!

It seemed like a Prog Hall of Fame,with the likes of Nick Barrett,Steve Christie and John Wetton,at the back of the pub !!

I nearly shat myself when i saw that Wetton was there !!!!!

No, only forgot to add "if I had any".... wanted to make the statement more comparable for you :P

PS: I actually DO own a keyboard, wait, lemme take a look at it: it's a Technics SX-K250

Credo were fab! and Arena played great! no rom for costumes etc, but tonnes of fun, and just like being a student again!

Not that with the benefit of hindsight I would have missed the Sheffield gig for the world but coming from Bristol how come there was no notice of the Swindon date (or did I miss it?) - even Arenaworld didn't have a contact for the venue...

the announcement was quite late, but there had been a few words about it here about a week or so before the gig. I think you got the full show in Sheffield tho! , but Riff's is a cracking little venue, check out their website and subscribe to their news letter, you never knw who'll pop up there, and only an hour from Bristol!
