Superfuzz v England

8th June - 40 th Birthday party for Chistine and Wedding in rainy old Hazelwood.

Off to Rotherham on a Friday for a 40th birthday party  , when England are playing ? There's surely only one winner. But hold on, the good folk of Rotherham like their footy but they also like a good shindig , so although numbers were a little down first set everyone joined in for the second.We had a great time . Our hosts were too kind bringing forth beer and buffet , so we played until the cows came home and the children had collapse through exhaustion. A rousing rendition of happy birthday finished off a happy night.

9th june Wedding Hazelwood near Duffield

My word, the weather was atrocious , the guests were battling with monsoon flooding on a biblical scale. The spirits were however not dimmed as guests danced and bopped all night long . We must have been on the ball as we gave out plenty of business cards and enjoyed kind words.
Highlight of the night was a young slip of a thing jumping on stage and distracting Archibald with her womanly charms during Stand By Me .
For your information - we ve put him on a course of bromide and should make a full recovery.

Wedding - 2nd june 2012 ,Blackbrook House,Belper, Derbyshire

Blackbrook House is a beautiful country house situated just outside Belper.The weather was somewhat unkind for this Jubilee weekend wedding. Paul and Martin played an acoustic greeting for the wedding guests as they entered the wedding room,which went very well.

Two half an hour sets were planned for the afternoons entertainment , but events contrived to scupper this. Photography over ran , dinner over ran , speeches over ran , everything over ran , so we eventually started at 8.30pm . What a great time though , everyone danced and enjoyed themselves and our bride even sang Mustang Sally with the band taking lead vocals to everyone's delight!

Sulgrave Manor Jubilee Celebration 4 th June 2012

If you are travelling through Oxfordshire and happen across the tiny village of Sulgrave, don't hesitate pulling up to the Star Inn for a few drinks. Because there you can be assured of the warmest of welcomes. The locals are the friendliest , kind people you could wish to meet.

Setting up in the Manor hall and playing to these gentle country Bumpkins was a real privilege. They bopped all night and treated us absolutely brilliantly. The loyal toast was perhaps not quite as well observed as it might have been, playing second fiddle to the roast beast being served ,but I'm sure her majesty would have understood. 

One interesting fact was bestowed upon us :- did you know the only people allowed to sit down during a loyal toast are naval officers.This was so they didn't hit their heads on the decks above.This dates back to the reign of King Charles II who whilst on board the Royal Charles bumped his royal bonce whilst replying to the toast. Ouch ! 

Anyway three cheers for the Queen , and well done to Clive who was cajoled into playing drums by his daughter and wife and did a thoroughly good job.

Dumbleton Hall - Worcestershire- wedding- 28th April 2012
The wind  did bloweth  and the rain did falleth. It was cold, it was dark and it was dank (if that's a word). However inside, our guests were oblivious to Mother Natures fury and partied all night with indomitable spirit. They danced, sang and made merry from start to finish. The bride chopped the wedding cake in half with a mighty sword to which everyone roared hoorah! Even when the roasted hog was accidentally furnace d to a crisp our intrepid bunch kept laughing and dancing. Jolly good show !

The Priory Chicksands Shefford wedding 05/05/2012 

A small function greeted Superfuzz for this wedding .We didn't start until 10.45 and didn't finish until 12.30. Long speeches, fireworks, coffee in the drawing room all delayed things, but once it got going there was no stopping them. They begged us to play on to which we hopelessly obliged ( such easy pushovers)!

Anyway the sound at Chicksands was brilliant with its stone walls and curved ceilings , we felt like the Who.

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.
