It was great to be asked back, to sing at The Royal Standard
Pub, Blackheath and how much more appropriate a name could you get for a venue to kick of the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations!
This is actually one of the most local gigs I have, it’s
literally just up the road from where I live, I went to school round the corner and I've walked
past this pub more times than I can tell you. It’s an impressive building that
you cannot fail to miss and the immediate area is known as 'The Standard' after
this local, iconic, landmark. It was built in 1848 by William Wynn at the cost
of £2,000, which was probably a lot of money at the time.... The Standard has recently changed
over to new management and they are doing a brilliant job in turning this pub
into what feels more like a community hub with a welcoming atmosphere, more
like it should be and was intended to be when it was built. Go to their Facebook page to see some of the different sporting, family, music and other events they have
going on and some pics of us too!
Katy and I (Sax Singer) really enjoyed the gig, the people were
lovely, friendly and seemed to really appreciate us being there. A few of my
friends and neighbours came too, some of whom did a great job
singing backing vocals! It was good fun and we’re looking forward to playing
here again.
