Dear Scratchers,
Wow what a night down the Horn on Thursday... the place was absolutely 'chocca' for the NSPCC Charity night organised by Andy and Whitty - (In Partnership with no-one)... 5 acts were crammed into an adrenalin rush of an evening, that included excellent sets from Whitty (solo, but with less attitude from less Stella!) and Cobra 'White worm' Kai... who despite having their suits 'trumped', weighed in with a great cover of one of Andy's all time fave Nirvana tracks 'About a Girl') Whitty also joined The Scratch on stage for finale track 'Out Faking the Fakers' and for a cameo role as 'Santa Barry', during Against the Grain. Despite the Baron rupturing his shoulder ligaments the band played with its usual ferocious intent, mixing it up a little for the 'diehards' with Independent Unrepentant getting a welcome airing and the ever popular Girls World 'popping up' for a boogie. Another big highlight was seeing Hugh and Mrs Hugh Davenport before (and after)... must have been ok then Mr.D ?!?
Huge thanks to Tina (doing the usual Manchester dash!) and everyone who turned up to make it a great night ... with over £750 made for the Charity too... The only minor panic on the night were the usual lost property, this time totaling, two coats, one phone, one set of keys and the fairy lights John had adorned his bass with... oh and Andy's new tonic suit strides of course, that following a particularly over zealous leap towards the Vince girls in the front row of the crowd, split his seam from here to breakfast time!!! Thank God for the last minute decision not to go Commando!
Can't wait for '09 now! We love you all and you know it you freaks!
