No Sleep Till Bledlow Ridge!

After a rocking set at the Wheatsheaf last Saturday night, fans of Colin the "Juggler/Styx" Vose were unimpressed at stand-in drummer Rob's chops (on kind loan from Bootlegger). The rest of the band, and the Saturday night punters, however, were very impressed with Rob's skills - so much so that rumour has it that managers of both bands were seen in hard bargaining negotioations after the gig. Could this mean a transfer is in the offing. Thankfully, for both bands, I fear not, as the drummer transfer window is now closed for the season. Punters were asked if the Well sounded any different on the night. A drinker, who wished to remain anonymous said " It was like the Well we know and love, except tonight they were in time and right on the beat, like". Another punter commented "We did miss that number they did recently at the Beer Festival where the guitarist played each string in turn for ages, where it sounded like a cat in pain - that was a good number, man".

As the band members drove away in their tour bus after the show, a handwritten sign in the rear window could clearly be seen - "TODAY CHINNOR, TOMORROW HOLMER GREEN - NO SLEEP TILL BLEDLOW RIDGE! (AS LONG AS WE GET A GOOD NIGHT'S REST AT SYDENHAM)"
