Live and Acoustic At The Boot - Tonight!!

[Electric ~soul~]

 

This singer-songwriter is making his solo live debut (if you ignore the one ten years ago that was so bad it put him off performing live for a whole decade).

 

Expect to hear (I Wanna) Fly With You, Maybe I'm.., Better Life and new song The Wonder Years.

 

It's fair to say he's bricking it, so will be on the bevvies from about 4.30pm!

 

Top of the bill is St Albans' very own Ben Griffiths - debut EP Written In A Room Without A View out now!!

[Zagreus]

Good luck yer crazy mofo! :-) Hope it all goes OK!!

[Electric ~soul~]

Nah, I'll go to pieces like I always do, but if you're gonna fk up, you may as well do it in front of, err... 23 people!!

[Laz]

Good luck, Geez! I have to admire your bottle!

[Electric ~soul~]

It'll be export-strength cider that gets me through it, mate. Not bottle!

 

Used to play live all the time when I was 16 or 17, but it's a bit easier when you've got four bandmates up there with you, as I'm sure you know!

 

Helps if you have a voice too.

 

Does anyone know if the Hooded Man is playing tonight too?

[Hardings Minion]

What time does it all start?

[Electric ~soul~]

About 9pm-ish, I think.

 

We're getting down for about 8pm, to get our names down early at Ben's suggestion.

[Hardings Minion]

Quality. I'm coming down.

[Electric ~soul~]

Good man!

[Hardings Minion]

Is Ben any good?

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah, he is very good. Tracy (I think?) called him "angry" when I saw her on Saturday. He goes bright red when he sings!

[Electric ~soul~]

My mistake - it was Jimmy who said that!

 

A good crowd coming down now...

 

Electric ~soul~

Gertcha

Big George

The Hooded Man

[gertcha EFM]

Get Morley the paramedic on standby for when Thorns "lays one on me" !

[CANV EFM]

dont get to fked beforehand C.Z. ..

do u think you can take 'the firm the voice', gertcha? ..

remember there are no rules on the street..

[gertcha EFM]

Yeah, I'd be confident of it Canv.

 

I'd fight dirty.

[Electric ~soul~]

CANV - I'm sticking to pints, mate. Made the old spirits mistake once before!

 

I reckon 4-5 pre-show pints should do the trick. Any less and I'll be too nervous - any more and I'll be forgetting all the chords again!!

 

Gertcha - I heard that you bottled it on Sunday and didn't show up at the Park.

Yeah, that was it. I'm scared of Colin you see.

[Electric ~soul~]

So you should be, mate. 2002/03 Hooligan of the Year, and he's got eight legs of rhyme!

[gertcha EFM]

Yeah forgot about that. Was that for throwing the can of cider at the back of the refs head ? or something else ?

[Electric ~soul~]

That was the previous season.

 

He won it in 2002/03 for Aylesbury and Stockport mainly, although I'm not sure what he actually did at Stockport.
