Gloucestershire Party Band Skamp, Emily & Bryan, Wedding, Leominster

What a beautiful day it was, probably the hottest day of the year so far. I volunteered to drive the 'Skamp Van' to the gig. My co-pilot was Steve (Keys). We had no air-con so it took a while to cool down using the old fashioned open windows trick. The venue was lovely. A converted farm with a marquee in the back garden. We were treated to a slap-up supper + wine, in the parents dining room - lovely. All the party goers danced all night and gave us four encores - brilliant. Many thanks to Duncan and Alex (parents) who made us very welcome and good luck to Emily and Bryan.

Well what a great night was had by all. It was a late start for Gloucestershire function band Skamp. Eleven pm, so it was an extra long set until after midnight. Many thanks for Richard for organising the event and singing a number with us, namely 'Addicted to Love' by Robert Palmer. What was unusual was that the party goers were probably 6 inches from Rob (vocals) face - a little too close perhaps? Oh, bye the way, the new drums sound great.
