<br />
We are due to play between 4pm and 6pm, and will be inside, so umbrellas are optional.<br />
<br />
[*] Probably because we tend to sneak "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" on to the set list at weddings.<br />

<br />
Yes, just 17 short years ago myself, Mark, Mike, Fred and a <a href="http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/505.php">TR-505 drum machine</a> crammed into Piggy's sitting room and played 11 songs, finishing, as has now become tradition, with <i><a href="http://www.magwag.plus.com/jim/penguins-set-list-95-01-21.html">Stepping Stone</a></i>.<br />
<br />
Next week - Saturday, 28th January 2012 - we will be playing at <i><a href="http://www.blackhorsenorthnibley.co.uk/">The Black Horse in North Nibley</a></i> to celebrate their 1st Anniversary as the landlords of the pub.
