Good day
Here’s the latest from Martin Weller, CRUSH UK & BobKatZ for August 2009
We have enjoyed another month of good shows, great audiences and also helped to raise more money for charities including £2800 for Teenage Cancer Trust, so we’re happy :)
The Devon Air Ambulance Trust show with Thick as Thieves on Paignton Sea Front was terrific and the sun played it’s part.
Weller also played his first ‘Anti Slavery’ gig – www.antislavery.org - Who knew?
The Crush trip to Jersey was an experience :) We worked hard and did the job. Bing was a real asset taking on more of the set list than before and playing bouncer into the bargain.
The KatZ didn’t get to support the UK Subs or Quo, but they have been busy recording some of Weller’s new songs. Whatever next? :)
A special mention for honorary Kat, Ben Partridge who deputised on drums for Stewart. Ben did us proud once again.
OK, we’ve got a heavy schedule this month (say it how you like), so come on down and show some love if you can.
