The Rockgoblin at the Hobgoblin.

Saturday night - We could have been at Ronnie Scott's watching the amazing James Taylor Quartet but where were we?

The only place to be - The last ever all-day Rockgoblin (3pm to 3am) at the Hobgoblin, Staines.

We didn't make the start - when we got there one of the 8 (yes that's right, it was 8) bands were already playing.

I'm afraid I have no idea who they were but they were good and they deserve a picture;

The problem is it all got a bit hectic;

My photos got a bit fuzzy. Actually they were a bit blurry but I'm putting this one up anyway.....you get the idea?

By now I think you've guessed it was 'Fancy dress'. Here's Robyn as Arthur Dent from The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy;

I came as a Vogon Quantity Surveyor and I had with me about nine hours of Vogon poetry ready for a recital (Resistance is Futile).

I do love a selfie - this was taken by Robyn G. May.

There were some amazing costumes; Edward Scissorhands, countless Zombies and Vampires, someone behind the bar in a 17th Century Pompadore lit by LED's, a headless man, Jenson in a Trojan Helmet, Rambo....it was fun. A very fine way to say goodbye to something very special.

Last ever Rockgoblin.

Sigh!

I'll do the Band reviews over the next couple of days - we saw Cultural Other, Tapestry, The Wicked Venetians, The Lagan, and Eat The Evidence which wasn't bad going.

Eat the Evidence?
Good legal advice that!
