You know it's a good gig when you're set up and sound-checked before people start arriving.
You know it's a good gig when you've got a great sound on-stage and off-stage
You know it's a good gig when you're swigging rose wine straight from the bottle (very nice it was too!)
You know it's a good gig when everyone gets dressed up in 70's gear and gets totally into the spirit of the event.
You know it's a good gig when you've got more lights, lasers and big smoke than U2.
So we all got changed into our 70s gear (Elton John on keyboards, Ozzy Osbourne on Vox etc) and set off into the first of 3 sets with Ziggy Stardust a rapturous reception, thats the beauty of playing in a proper village out in thesticks, everybody turns out for every charity gig and really enjoys themselves and raises loads of money, £460 last night at the last count.
Come the 2nd set, and a few more beers in everyone's bellies, and the party really got started, singing along, dancing, shouting and cheering (particularly during James' Sit Down, which is a 90's song kids, but who cares?) to songs from Joe Cocker, The Commitments and Free.
A quick change into our Blues Bros outfits (and didn't we all look smart) and on to a stage bathed in blue light, for Sweet Home Chicago and a rip-roaring last set, Delilah, Caroline and the legendary Team A v. Team B contest that is "Gimme Some Lovin'" (it was a draw).
I honestly cannot thank everyone enough for making last night an absolute success and one which will live in the memory for a very long time, Trish and the Eyam "Crazy Gang" for giving us the chance to return to The Mechanics, Jono Havenhand for doing an outstanding job on the lights and sound - it wouldn't have been the same without you, Gill for giving me a lift and making us all a packed lunch (she is too good to us), everyone who paid their money, turned up, bought raffle tickets and glow bracelets and made it. THANKYOU SOOOOO MUCH!

This plan benefitted the larger states because they had more people which meant more representatives.
