There always next time.

Hey all,

I just had two phone calls.

One from Lorraine, who booked me for Scotch Corner on Friday nights. She had been fired and as such didn't know what was going on with the acts that she had booked. She gave me the number of the pub to call up to find out what the score was.

So, I called up the pub to find out and they just called me back there. The reasons given were, I was too young (!), loud and didn't play enough cover songs that people know. Also something about not bringing a crowd along.

Which is all very strange since from the start I said I don't do radio hits and was told that it was fine to do original songs. I can't really do anything about my age, and I like playing loudly ( I guess since he was watching my set he could of asked me to turn down the PA!).

The crowd? Well, i did my best (emails, phone calls, texts, Evening Times article) and it wasn't my fault if more people didn't come along. That said though, out of the 30 or so people in the pub on Friday night, most of them were there to see me. So I hope he enjoys his emptier pub.

Pretty short notice as well it has to be said! The manager said that he enjoyed my set, and liked the direction I was taking the music, but it just wasn't suitable for his pub.

The manager also told me that there was never even the notion of a Residency. Lorraine was told to book an act for Friday nights and the residency thing hadn't even been mentioned to him.

So, if you were going to head along tonight, don't bother. Or better still, head along en masse and ask the bar man where I am.

I knew there was going to be people to take the piss, and more than that, I knew it was going to be you first.

I didn't come here with the intention of taking the piss (well.... I did kinda have this one wee joke at the back of my head) but I saw that and it just jumped right in.

Regardless Dave you'll bounce back up you rubber ball motherfucker.

And you've got Springsteen soon.

I guess it also means I've got my Friday nights back.
