Look like a decent band.

Awesome band Mark!

 

The wedding gig has a bit of a tale behind it too. 
 

The Friday before the wedding on Saturday, Mike Jones - proprietor of the Rod & Line Tideford (awesome pub), phoned to say “Kev, there’s a problem, the band have cancelled but don’t panic, I’ve got a better one for you. They’re gigging at the pub tonight, come see. 
 

Didn’t tell the (then soon to be) wife, just got the lads and zipped over there. 
 

Banging!

 

Mike said, you pay them for tomorrow, I’ll give them free bar. 
 

In the pub which is, shall we say, compact, there were 4 band members. 
 

Next night, at the wedding, there were 12!

 

A bloke on the spoons, a bloke with a triangle, a bird with a tambourine etc, etc. 
 

Ive not doubt they called all their mates and said get your glad rags on, Mike Jones is doing a free bar ??

 

It was the MADDEST night!

 

The wife & I left the marquee at 5AM, I said to those that were left they could stay as long as they like but I’ve got to turn the generator off. 
 

Some were still there next morning!

 

Shortly after that BFs did their record breaking 24 gigs in 24 hrs in Plymouth. 
 

Great band! Great pub too ??

Sounds like a good night. My mate is head chef at a place in Liskeard, I'll check that pub out when I make it down to see him. Assuming that gigs are allowed then. I miss live music.

What place Mark?? 
 

Rod & Line @ Tideford is legendary for great beer, great music, great atmosphere , great food. It’s a proper pub!

No Mr Stubby, i think in 'Olivers Army' he is referring to a group of men thought of as 'expendable' due to their ( and no  fault of their own) class situation.  K
