Wedding, Puesdown Inn Sat 15 Aug

What a super venue. The stage area was looking good with the black sky and starry background and to top the cake we had the classic chessboard dancefloor. We had a few problems with the electrics but when sorted it all worked a dream. Rob and Vicki (groom and bride) looked great and seemed to enjoy the evening. Skamp were on form and kept the crowd screaming for more. Pizza and bacon butties for supper and ipod favs until 1am. We even got told to turn the noise down from a village 3 miles away - I bet The Who didn't have that. What a crazy night.

Hello All

We haven't updated the blog for a while. We're still here getting ready for next weeks gig. Plus I wanted to just say that Ive finally managed to crack my digital workstation. It's taken a while but finally it's working. Who said computer music was easy?

SKAMP-STOCK

Superb gig for Jonny & Liz in Pilning on Saturday night. They turned their garden into a mini festival site! Great party with great guests who didn't want to stop dancing! Same time next year?

Ad rocks ahead of next Gig

At long last we've found a rockier version of Duffy's "Mercy". We spent tonight learning it from scratch. If you're at our next gig you'll love it. With thanks to Third Degree and The Ministry of Sound.

SAS Gig Update - ouch!

We've just had a lovely thank you card from Jill & Steve who we played for in Hereford. Apparently one of the Scottish guests danced so hard to our music that she broke a small bone in her foot! I knew we were good, but not injury inducing!

Amy & Matts First Dance

Hurrah! They got hitched and we got the gig. if you search the blog you'll find a picture if Amy & Matt when they came to audition us. Their venue was the beautiful Homme House near Ledbury. Gorgeous. Great night, but very hot!

Cheers from SKAMP! We do love our Bolli!















Now we know who we are even after 10 glasses of sparkly.

It's wedding number 2 for this weekend and it's a hot one. Unusually we all went separately to the venue. It was quite exciting as we got signed in by security, had our id pass + photo and then went in convoy to the officers mess. After setting up, we were treated to a slap-up steak'n'chips supper washed down with a small glass of champagne - nice! People took a little while to get going due to the hot evening and the fact they'd been drinking all day. Luckily Rob's voice lasted well considering he'd just recovered from a throat infection - well done son! Another successful evening and SKAMP lasted the double gig weekend.
