Tree chopping and sex gnomes
// April 26th, 2010 // Live @ Gjs, Open Mic, Papa J News, Variety Show
Yippie Ki Yay! our 2nd Variety show of the year went down really well our 3 bands were amazing.
KCT ended up playing with a full band instead of just the normal two members (aparently the other two had only been in the band for 3 hours) and they pulled it off with out any hiccups giving them a fuller more original sound.
The High Chaparrals had the crowd going mental as they lit up the room with not only the power of there performance but the Christmas lights surrounding the double bass .
New band 335 ended the night with some funky diverse blues proving that they had what it takes to headline and finish off the night.
We could tell this was a night that would grab more people to come to our next show on the 15th of May for the line up visit:
Continuing with the live music Monday’s open mic night is tonight. Last weeks was excellent. Everyone who turned up enjoyed themselves starting chants of “sex gnome” and other bits of …. supportive banter 
The Sun kept out a fair few of our usual crowd but it was also able to bring in some old comers to the warming lights of the Papa J’s GJ’s Experience. who knows what tonight’s will bring us…..
During the past week we have not only been working on all the Papa J bits and bobs but cutting down a tree! Apparently it falls in to a small bit of no man’s land so the council won’t touch it.
So cutting down this 45ft tree has been a bit of an experience although it’s too week to take mine or Keiron’s weight due to it rotting so we have been sending Keir’s 63 year old Grandad up there instead as he is the smallest and the lightest. There have been several close calls; nearly smashing a car and Grandad nearly flying out of the tree are only a few to name. We only have the trunk left to do now, we have stayed alive this long lets hope we will last a bit longer.
Will update you on how it’s going soon,
Hope to see you tonight at the Open Mic,
Dave
