Repped.

3 grand? Fucking hell were you in the drifters or something?

 

We had a good manager & loads of rich people wanted us playing at their Wedding.

 

To be fair we had to split it between 9 of us after transport & all that sort of stuff & three grand was the most we ever got.

[Champ]

As long as he is getting some tonight

 

 

Of course I am.

 

We love you dearly, mister, but you do come across like a proper pig at times

weddings pay well mate - pubs pay next to nothing, but it's always worth doing private parties and the odd function.

 

Did you have an enormous frilly shirt Mook?  I couldn't ever go down the function band route.  I'm too rock'n'roll.  Having said that I'm depping in a function band on New Year's Eve in the Grand in Eastbourne.

I used to play in a soul band & we played loads of Weddings, we'd get £3,000 for a couple of hours work & a free bacon roll in between sets, it was magic & there was always plenty of banter with the bridesmaids.

 

what d'you play Mook?

[stringvest]

Thats what it should be like

 

Without you playing a gig. Not sure a scouse chaz n dave act really fits in with the spirit of the day

 

you've got more rabbit than Sainsbury's.

We just wore old looking suits & ties. I used to say that about playing Weddings but I got sick of playing drums for years on end & having no money to show for it. To be fair we were playing 100% old Motown stuff, which I love anyway so it wasn't like we were doing Angels & shite like that.

I love the old Motown stuff.  My band are doing a bit of Motown, as is this band I'm depping for.

We didn't bring the stuff, these were rich people we're talking about, their Weddings were like Christmas in Lapland.

Me and a few mates were talking about weddings over the weekend, one piss takingly pipes up if Sherry ever gets married again it'll be in the middle of a field with everyone camping. She wasn't expecting me to come out with that i'd want everyone wearing wellies too. A wedding should be about the ceremony and the couples relationship, not how lavish it can be.

 

A rule of thumb i've noted isn't about how much the wedding has cost but the number of guests present, the fewer the better.

 

Ha, I hadn't even met Mr Melons then, poor bastard, if only he knew! I failed on the number of guests, but we did have loads of kids there.

 

We got married on a camp site, by the side of the river and had the reception in a marquee a little further up the field, there was no disco, no band - but we did have an ace cake, space hoppers and bubbles, lots of bubbles! Oh and SKI was my maid of honour, what more could you ask for?

Can't seem to get the cake picture to reduce in size. And yes, by the end of the night the feet had been re-positioned.

 

Edit, no idea where the picture of the bubbles went.  

[Hand Shandy]

Anyone else expecting slightly more from that link?

You wanted to see the bubbles?

[Hand Shandy]

If that's what you're calling them nowadays, then yes...
