4th of July Weekend with Mojo (gig 1)

3rd of July saw Mojo down in Sandbanks at the Haven Hotel! Yes we were asked to play at a wedding and it was an excellent gig. The hotel is fantastic venue – right on the front next to the Sandbanks/Studland ferry. The hotel manager came to let us know about a sound limiter – never a good thing for the gear if they are set low or very sensitive.

The guests took a little while to warm up in the bar next to the ballroom but as soon as the disco (my apologies here as I never took note of names of ANYone) kicked in properly then it was quite obvious that they were there to party!

When we started our first set several young lady guests took charge of the mic and Tony’s hat!!

The roving mic seems to bring out the performer in a lot of people and “sing-along-with-Mojo” is fast catching on at gigs now! Brick in the Wall being one of the favourites!!

Great gig, great disco (wish I knew their names – if you read this, guys – drop us a line/comment!), great people and many thanks to the family for asking us to play! Best wishes to the bride and groom!

Oh – the sound limiter never budged once!! And Tony’s hat just survived being passed round several young ladies!

(Ps – apologies for not remembering names!)

About Mike

Drum stool with Mojo and Off the Rails. Off The Rails is my first band and it's been playing for 15 years! How time flies! Great bunch of guys - all excellent players and fun to be with. Mojo - a more recent gig for me! I was asked around 2006 to sit in while the original guy was away. He subsequently left. I was asked to take the seat and said yes with little persuasion!! I have enjoyed every gig since! Learning new numbers nearly every week has stretched me and I LOVE it!!
