RoxyRama Goes Live!
Well the time came and we turned up dutifuly, if a little scared, to play for NeilKeyboard's mates at his Christmas do. It had been a busy lead up to this with me playing in 3 (yes count them) bands at the same time (Splinter, RoxyRama and This That & The Other) for the Christmas period. Never again - I promise. By the time this gig came around I was truly knackered and could barely remember who I was - never mind a dozen or so not straightforward songs. Anyway - it was alright in the end - yes, there were some rough edges - the highlight being Steve (Bryan Ferry) losing the lyrics to Jealous Guy and so the band playing the intro for what seemed like several weeks before he found them and started the song proper. I didn't hang around to do the usual post-mortem stuff afterwards as young Moz was driving down to Leicester to visit his beloved Lucy (my daughter - remember!) but needed to get back to Selby first - ah, young love!!!! Listening back to the recordings of the night after Christmas have to say it sounded remarkably good - enough to be able to put some on the myspace site - so go have a listen.
