The Band With No Name!!

Well it has been a quiet week in the gallery - everyone must be away on their hols!!

I had been looking forward to Friday as we were invited out to a 'gig' at The Drovers Arms, Skipwith in aid of Jessie's Fund which helps seriously ill and disabled children to communicate through music.

When I asked Gary what the band was called he said they were the band with no name (which if you are reading this Gary would be a good name for you). The band consists of Gary on guitar with Lisa (his gorgeous wife) as lead vocals and Simon the newest member on keyboard.

We arrived for 7pm and found The Drovers Arms was packed out. Good job we had booked a table! We had a fab meal - Steak Pie was great - all homemade of course! Apparently the scampi and lasagne were just as good! Generous portions which filled us up leaving no room for a pudding (good job as I am aware of the ever expanding waistline!!).

The gig started around 8.30pm and they played till 11.30pm covering all styles of music with a break mid-way for a music quiz!

I must say they were very good and Lisa's voice is amazing. For amateurs who do it occassionally it was fantastic and we are all looking forward to the next 'gig'.

It was a great evening and they raised just short of £150.00 for Jessie's Fund. For more information about Jessie's Fund go to www.jessiesfund.org.uk.

'The Band With No Name' is available for weddings, birthdays and other such gatherings with all donations going to charity. Please ask via the gallery for bookings!
