Fluddy hell

19th October - 40 th Birthday party

Derbyshire wedding band Superfuzz performed at a fabulous 40 th birthday party for the lovely Sharon. We were greeted with horrendous rain at our Derbyshire venue . The field where our vehicles were parked was very boggy . Our Ford Transit just could nt get out and had to be abandoned with 5k worth of equipment in it ! We managed to get the cars off resulting in this hilarious shot of Martin .He cried like the girl he is !Tee hee .
Not the best way of spending my Sunday though, digging out the band van , don't worry lads it only took me 2 hours.

The lesson here is make sure in the event of rain all your suppliers can get off site . We play a lot of marquees so a standby tractor / plan of action needs to be in place .
Tatty bye !
ps have you noticed he is being harassed by a pink alien thing, hope it eats him !

Tit bits

6th September- Launay Restaurant , Edwinstowe wedding Dave and Janice
Received this great feedback 

Hi all
 just to wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Friday 6th September.
We’ve just got back from honeymoon and everyone is commenting on how brilliant you were and the fantastic range of music that catered for all ages.
You had us all dancing immediately you took to the stage and we just carried on all night after that and all the staff at Launnay’s were dancing in the aisles too!
The three piece band was ideal for our small venue and I have to say the three of you rocked the joint.
Thought you may like to see a picture of my good self with you all!
Thank you for finishing off our wedding perfectly. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who wants a band in the future.
Oh also a huge thanks for learning our special song – Chasing cars by Snow Patrol. That was fantastic too.

Thanks

Market Harbourer Football Club- wedding -Paul and Sarah
What a great do and in the words of Jim Bowen " what lovely super smashing folk "  .



Paul and Sarah were so down to earth . Couldn't be bothered with a first dance or speeches , too much trouble ," lets chill out and have a good time" was the mantra for this wedding .Being at a football club it would have been rude not to have a kick about whilst waiting to go on. It was great to score a few goals in the nets.I ve still got a few tricks in my bag and was able to mesmerise my band mates with step overs , drag backs and dummies.  Martin keyboards managed to carry off the Superfuzz cup however ,as I was handicapped by having no tread on my winkle pickers.
Superfuzz are an amazing Leicester Wedding bands, contact us at info@superfuzz.co.uk

Cambridge Hessington Nicola and Stuart 50 th
A garden party for our illustrious birthday boy who accompanied the band on stage for the Jams Eton Rifles and Teenage kicks to name just a few . A lovely day spent with the good folk of Hessington village . The free bar was very welcome , of course I could'nt partake due to driving duties , but it was nice to see Martin and Paul falling off the wagon of sobriety . Cambridge wedding bands come in different shapes and sizes , if you want a fabulous one with a super pa and light show , pick the Fuzz

Whole lotta shakin goin on !

29th July Trafford Hall near Cheshire




Had to play this one as a four piece as Martin Keyboards was away sunning his pathetically pale body . However, still managed to come through with flying colours , must have been my mind blowing drum solo! 

Received this back from Phil the brides Father via our agents for the night .Warble Entertainment-

The band arrived promptly as arranged, set up quietly, and were flexible with start times for each of their two 60 minute sets. They played great music, entertained and kept us dancing to all the usual favourites! Helpful, polite and perfect for us & our wedding guests. Thanks guys!

We've been booked for a number of wedding parties lately where the lucky bride and groom have been married in Barbados. I can only surmise that they must be very busy out there . Now,when I'm on my sun bed, the last thing I need is confetti in my Pina callarda or the sound of 'here comes the bride whilst trying listening to Van Halen through my ear phones .Come on guys, get married in rainy Olde England and spend all your cash on the friends and family you never see  , you know it makes sense !

Silverstone race track - Chapmans retirement party

A Tuesday night is a strange night for a party. A retiring Mr Chapman reminded everyone he expected them at their desks the following morning , which seemed a funny way of encouraging a party atmosphere . Hats off to Chapmans German boss who entertained the amassed throng with " Sex Bomb , My way and Ain't no sunshine when you ve gone" ; sung with a Bavarian accent with lyrics adapted to include the word Chapman at every opportunity , Huh ?  Here is me and Martin posing by some of the sporty cars , think I might buy one .

RAF Benson Summer Ball Haiwian night

All looked good for this summer ball held in the Helicopter hanger at RAF Benson
A cocktail bar kept the drinks flowing and we kept them dancing . Thanks to Jess for getting up and singing Mr Brightside with us. Events for the forces can be a bit raucous , this one passed off peacefully, except for the final 10 mins when Jess got  a shard of glass stuck in her foot , ouch , keep your shoes on girls !

Rufford Country Park , Sean and Trudie Wedding 
Warning - Too many Kids can kill your wedding .
Trying to please your friends by inviting their children does no one any favours . Firstly the children get tired about 9 pm .  Mums and Dads can't enjoy themselves and have a few drinks and thirdly the only thing they will dance too is Wigfield and the Macarreena. Arghhh .
The Bride and Groom sung our praises at the end and we vanished into the night to the sound of the  cha cha slide ----- criss cross , everyboby clap your hands

Ed and Kerri's wedding , Newhaven,  Derbyshire 
A massive marquee greeted us upon arrival and an absolutely huge wedding . Hundreds of guests ! How does someone become so popular. I would struggle to fill a small bedroom with my friends. It's hard to have friends when you are so god-damn handsome.Jealousy is a horrible trait. As Lady Ga ga said " I was born this way" !

Carlos the DJ managed to play half our set before we entered the fray despite me giving him our set list .
But hats off to everyone for joining in at the end for our couple and well done to Archie for cajoling them into singing . There s nothing like getting amongst the crowd , Lets be avin yer !

Superfuzz venture near the Arctic circle and come back with a suntan , hoorah !

12th July The Grand Hotel ,Tynemouth Melvyn and Stephanie wedding celebration

Up to Tynemouth, near Newcastle for Melvyns wedding celebration. Methinks they were married in the Bahamas or somewhere similar and just wanted to treat their friends and family. Nothing wrong with that !
The Grand Hotel is located in a stunning position looking over the beach and we very much enjoyed the vista.
Strangely the sounds of 1980's New Romantics, the Human League wafted over us as they were performing ajust a stones throw away in the local park. They sound 'spot on' live and Phil Oakleys voice has not diminished one bit.
 Afterwards we packed our equipment together and made our way to the Travelodge for a hot cocoa and some well deserved shut eye  and no we didn't carry onto to Newcastle and stay out all night long partying, and if anyone tells you different that must have been Hipster  not SUPERFUZZ , get it right !





13th July Dukeries Hotel near Huddesfield ,Christian and Dianne


A smashing little wedding festival in the heart of Yorkshire. A plethora of children and grandparents did not bode well for this party , but come 9 pm,  a slow trickle up the stairs to bedfordshire ensured we were left with a handful of party lovin, dancing swiss bankers no less. They danced and rocked about with real gusto and had a penchants for heavy rock too  . We obliged with some AC/DC and Black Sabbath . How could we refuse ? They even cajoled us into another set and we ended up playing another half an hour, you Guys !

Rufford MIll 29th June2013

 A 3 pm arrival ,acoustic set and 2 x 1 hour sets certainly made for a very long but very enjoyable day.
The guest were in high spirits from the off and bopped around non stop. The happy couple seemed to have  their own version of Bez from the Happy Mondays.He certainly kept the party going . Especially loved his dance with the brides wheel chair bound Grandmother who was whizzed around the dance floor at top speed. The evening ended with the groom and Bez in what can only described as the missionary position.
Hats off to you party lovin nutters !

Marquees and downpours

8th June 2010 Ashton House Jeni's 21 st Birthday party .
Wow !The best looking audience ever .  Times the Saturdays by ten and you will have some idea of what I'm talking about . We weren't allowed off stage even after playing for a  gruelling two and a half hours , they just wanted more and more . By the end I felt like I d been ten rounds with Mike Tyson .
Oh,  another chance to insert a picture of the Saturdays , sorry !


This date marked the début of Superfuzz 2 our new trusty van . Our VW was getting too cramped due to George's ever increasing bass equipment . I bought it off a very amiable chap called Mr Asif Sheraz . Which does beg the question ,would you buy a van off someone called As If ? I did ! Anyway it seems to be ok with plenty of cup holders and a reassuring grunt under the bonnet .
We ve been pondering having it emblazoned with our photo's with " Superfuzz wedding band "written on it. However, George is so good looking, female drivers would be constantly overtaking us to look , causing major traffic chaos ( tongue in cheek ) , perhaps better leave it white .

Website link , apparently it helps our google ranking , http://www.superfuzz.co.uk/birmingham-wedding-bands/

29th May 2013 wedding Joanne Webb
A wedding on a Wednesday , are you crazy ? Does no one work Thursdays anymore ?
Anyway ,it rained so hard on the way to this wedding , we could have done with a speedboat instead of a vw van . We were a tad late due to biblical flooding. Sometimes,unfortunately circumstances conspire against us ; on arrival however our couple had not panicked and were pleased to see us .Its better to a little arrive late than driving dangerously and putting musicians at risk . How would the world of drumming recover if I had been lost to the storm ? ( very easily I here you cry ,thanks ) All went swimmingly though , pardon the pun -We set up in record time and played two blistering sets our guests appreciated ; left to kind words and hearty thanks , another satisfied client ! Bravo





Website link , apparently it helps our google ranking ,http://www.superfuzz.co.uk/derbyshire-wedding-bands/

Warning political  rant coming up  :- Google has a lot to answer for . The whole world is obsessed with being at the top of it , It used to be mount Everest or K2 . Cannot the human race find a more productive use of its resources than striving to be top of a virtual directory of everything , and Google doesn't pay any tax !
Time for someone to invent a UK search engine that pays it's way and doesn't spy on us . I think Ill start one and call it Nigel after me . Hoorah . 

25th May The Olde Post office Shrewsbury for Alive Network



What a lovely oldy worldy place Shrewsbury is. A very small room awaited our arrival . The guest were very welcoming and we had a great time and received the following feed back to our agent 

On the night junction 26 were fantastic – they played a great set of rock’n’roll, old favourites and modern tunes which had my guests up and dancing from start to finish."

ps , we are called junction 26 and Easy Street on Alive Network as they require all their bands to have names that do not appear anywhere else on the internet , to avoid conflicts with our own site and other agencies.

A rather large back garden somewhere in Warwickshire CV32.
I don't know about you but I would struggle to fit a 2 man bell tent in my garden let alone a huge marquee . But marquees seem very trendy at the moment . The weather was kind to these country folk and everything went tickerty boo . The chef looked after us with leftovers and humoured us with his cookery tales . Is it me or are all chef's completely bonkers ?
We will be returning soon to this slightly remote part of Wawickshire due to someone leaving a bag of lyrics there , which dumb ass could that be ? answers on a post card.
