The Good Ship featuring a Libertine?

So. Good gig. Us and one of Pete Doherty's flatmates Alan Wass. Sure.

Now, I'm one to try and not scrap the barrel, but playing with Pete Doherty's flatmate is *fingers crossed* a good thing? Sure it is. Also, tonight Ben's new guitar is being premiered. It's a bit fancy, but i guess he likes to think he is too.

We get there and it's pretty dead. To be fair, it's 6:00. There's the support band in the corner, Tobacco Road. They've brought all their gear, we think 'this may just be a good one'.

Then. Time. Goes. By.

We watch the support act and wait for Wass. After, we wait. And wait.

At 10:00, Tobacco Road decide they want to go home. With all their gear. Oh. Rubbish. And still no Wass. One of the blokes from Tobacco Road comes and gives us the news. After a tear, we laugh it off.

And still we wait. For Wass...

But, no Wass was to be. So we nearly give up. No equipment. People turned up from far to see us, but not too much to offer. So..

We play anyway. We pull together whatever equipment we have and had a great response. Thank you to everyone who came. Who needs a Wass anyway?

Also massive props to this guy. He danced so hard during all the fast bit, and then caught his breath in the slow bits.

And these two fans who loved the new guitar.
