I'm so far behind with my Blog that I've interrupted myself - Saturday night saw us down at the Hobgoblin in Staines. It was sad really, because the refurbishment that was due in the summer is going ahead.
It means big changes - there will still be music but probably not the kind that's made The Hob so innovative.
It means this year will be the last 'Rockgoblin'......ever!
Last night we had a treat in a pared down '48 Hours', who normally are a loud, vibrant three piece heavy metal band.
Tonight they were down to just two, exchanging an acoustic guitar for metal. Actually it was still more than a bit metallic.
There were a few covers, it wasn't very quiet or restrained....classic Hob band.
Meanwhile, mainlining;
'Girl in the Garden', local band, regulars at The Hob, reunited with their old guitarist and playing in front of all their fans.
It all made for a very special Hobnight;
What always made The Hob special was the opportunity it gave to young bands, that it always chose innovation over what was safe and reliable and even though I usually didn't actually like the music........there was always a spark there.
Saturday night was certainly sparking;
There are some good nights planned from here to Christmas but you had probably better take advantage of them while you can.
