Pump-it-up-on-de-dancefloor

On Tues 25 we met up with Colin and his wife to be, who are getting married and having there reception at the Pump rooms in Cheltenham. It's another gig secured for Oct and best of all it's local. Sorry no pics this time as Steve forgot to take one with is flashy ipod phone... ooooh.

We also tested our rehearsal PA that Rob bought. It was a thumbs up from the gang on that one. We won't need to worry about packing the gear up every time we have a gig. Ace!

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!
