Weddings and wellies

7th April 2012 Tythe Barn Oxfordshire

The bride and groom wore chicken outfits for their first dance and danced the birdie song , but guess what ,it wasn't them, it was someone pretending to be them ,ha ha , laugh , I nearly did , but didn't.
Lovely venue supposedly owned by Jamie Oliver no less . I thought the venue was very picturesque but a little cold. Mind you it was about  - 3 outside.  April weddings are a bit risky weather wise , but if your on a budget, you can save a lot of money. We were treated very well and we take our hats off to the happy couple and wish them well.

14th April 2012 Nottingham Belfry hotel

40th Ruby wedding celebration for Robin and Sue . An enormous room with guests spread out doesn't bode well . Get your room size right peeps and you will have a great do , too big and as Frank once sang ,"there may be trouble ahead, oh and make sure the ale is not £4.50 a pint or everyone will be very glum.
This little shindig passed off reasonably well in the end and we enjoyed playing on home turf.

15th April 2012 Cardon Hall ,Cheshire

The wedding of Scott and Amy was a truly brilliant night. The room size was perfect , the guests were dancing all night even though it was a Sunday and our host Scott was the perfect Gent.
Do you remember the little girl off BGT , well, we had her double come up on stage and sing "The climb by Mylie Cyrus and she was absolutely fantastic . The whole song from start to finish! I think Simon Cowell may have another star on his hands .
Fuuniest moment was when we played oasis and the guys started doing their Liam Gallagher impersonations , funniest thing I've ever seen.

Forever Green Restaurant Mansfield

And off to the Forever Green Restaurant in Mansfield for a the cosy wedding of Russ and Karen. Highlight of the night being the dancing barmaids hob-knobing on the patio to 500 miles. These girls really knew how to shake their snake-hips and their "ram a lam a ding dongs" were truly mesmerising.

Anyway , a nice little venue set in the woods where Robin Hood used to swing from tree to tree, helping the poor and robbing the rich .The venue has lots of glass which gives it a nice airy feel.

We're on the road to privatisation !

When Christopher Columbus sailed across the world , he was told that at some point he would sail off the edge and into a great dark abyss .On Saturday we had a similar feelin driving to Gresham in Norfolk for the wedding of Neil and the beautiful Kathleen. The odd tractor and a few crows were our only companions as mile, after mile, after mile, after mile ( you get the drift ) went by.
For the record, 165 miles , 3 hours 5 mins and 23 seconds.Good Golly Miss Molly !

Interestingly, the Government has announced today it wants to privatise our road network. Hoorah !!!!!
Briiliant, they can start with the A47 and the A52 east of Nottingham.
Just to let you know David ( We're all in it together ) Cameron, Superfuzz would like a new service station with a costa coffee , a dual carriageway (so that we can negociate tractors and old people driving at 20 miles an hour) and bypass at Grantham. Only cost a paltry three billion spondoolies. Chickenfeed !

Shhhhhhh

Oooh , it's all gone quiet  ,

oh sorry,  its the M1 they want isn't it , with its 2 million already overtaxed car users

Of course.

Stupid me !

Anyway enough baloney. Lovely couple ,great wedding , nice venue ,recommended !

Near death in Mapperley

Mapperley top in Nottingham is just a big hill , a knoll , a small bump on the map . But put 50 million tons of snow on it and you have a major logistical nightmare. Saturday night for Colins 50th Birthday was a triumph of band commitment and human resolve.That Churchillian spirit , that British never say die , that stiff upper lip .Ok, perhaps going a bit too far but my god we were very lucky to arrive in one piece .

Mapperley top gets steeper as you traverse up it and the trustee band VW was struggling all the way. No grit on the roads and thick ice meant the wheels went round with snail pace progress . I had visions of just falling back down taking 50 cars with me . Thankfully we just crawled to the top and managed to reach Colins party in one piece.

On the way back another hair raising event took place leaving an indelible mark on my psyche. A rather tipsy young thing decided to walk out into the road in front of me on thick ice near the Queens Medical Centre. To avoid killing her we took swift evasive action sliding into the Red Arrows bus shelter. Fortunately the platform saved us from certain death as the van wheels bounced us back into the road. She was oblivious to the carnage that could have ensued and staggered into the path of an oncoming taxi with similar results.

Bay Tree Hotel ,Burford, Oxfordshire

Off to Burford for the lovely wedding of Donna and Dave. Playing in a big conservatory is always going to upset the neighbours. The sound reverberates and the volume is amplified as it bounces off the walls. The bay tree staff were on the dog and bone all night trying to quell local unrest. "The police are coming" read one note passed to our guitar player , but what can we do? 
Acoustic drum sets are loud and playing Greenday and the Killers makes things worse. Anyway we did our best, turned down as low as possible and  managed to leave this beautiful part England without being arrested.
Some great backing vocals from Ash by the way , she really knows how to have a good time !


Thanks to Donna and Dave for being great hosts, they bopped all night !

Makeney Hall Derbyshire

3rd December 2011
Wow what a party!Ian and Charlotte were very lucky with the weather and very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. This party was possibly the best of the year as everyone was up for a great time. They danced from the first song to the last and would have kept going until the cows came home given half a chance.My little arms were exhausted , I felt like I'd been stretched on the rack.

This wedding was organised by Tillyboo., a Nottingham wedding organiser who we can highly recommend. Sarah ran the event with Military precision and is a thoroughly lovely girl to boot.

A word about the dj who had some fascinating stories about Ghosts. I've got a few skeletons in my cupboard and I'm haunted by 3 ghost every Christmas eve , so we hit it off straight away. Mr dj has his own TV series next year on ghost hunting so watch out David Ancorah , there's a new kid on the block !

The great flood :- Priest house Castle Donnington

Derbyshire wedding band Superfuzz performed at the Priesthouse on Wedding 26th November 2011

Beautiful venue for a wedding and everything went swimmingly, literally.
A tap in the bedroom above the stage decided to drip, then to run and then to gush 20 mins before we were due to go on. Help !!! Returning to the stage to play , I discovered all my drums were soaking and our amps were wet too. Danger, danger ,danger!

Paul and Martin did stress a little over their vintage 60's Marshall tops which looked ruined , but after 20 mins of frantic drying and wiping we eventually managed to play. I must say we have never been as stressed on a gig and was very relieved when things got going again. The groom and guest were very understanding and I know they enjoyed themselves in the end.

Just a word about the management , they were professional and calm in the face of such tribulation and deserve a medal for getting things back on course in such a short time.
