Saturday 27th May - Special Brew

The situation was all wrong. It was a Saturday night, I had been out on the Friday night, I had an exam coming up on the Monday and had done feck all study for it and I had just finished my last gig ever with present arms. Yet somehow it seemed so right to go straight to the sugar club and see my new band, special brew playing. So I managed to rope in the 2 tone man himself, Ems and her friend Amy. I met them in good auld Hartigans where they were finishing off some pints before heading across to the sugar club. Even though we were late arriving, the band before special brew had run late so the band hadn't started yet. I had a bit of a chat with my new band members before they went on and as they started into One Step Beyond, Col and I started into our routine. By the break, Col was wrecked and had to make an early exit. No matter though as Emsy and Amy were still up for it. Although they hadn't been dancing in the first half they had been quietly getting drunker and were on top form for the second half. Eoin had asked me to take some pictures of the band for the website. Despite being under the influence, I still managed to take good photos. Unfortunately, the subject of the photography wasn't always the band and was often boobs and lesbian goings on. During the intro to Lorraine, Steveo asked the crowd if there was anyone there called Lorraine. For some reason Amy thought this was her and made it known to Steveo and so the song was dedicated to her. Amy was please with this until the chorus: "When I find her I'm gonna kill her!" Well, Amy was quite displeased to say the least! After the set, Ems and Amy became all star struck and insisted on getting each band member's autograph. Thankfully Steveo managed to set things straight with Amy by signing her paper with "Dear Amy (Lorraine), I promise I won't kill you!" Haha! With that we exited the venue but not before a band photo shoot for the new website. Out on the street, I let Ems and Amy head for food while I returned back to my room on campus. Another good night at the Sugar Club!

Now away with ye...
