Gig Journal – 21st April 2014: Chatham Historic Dockyard

April 26, 2014

We get to travel around and do some interesting things in this band. For example, we had a fantastic time in Chatham, Kent last Easter weekend.

Chatham is home to the Historic Dockyard – a year-round tourist attraction that contains an array of attractions, boats and ships that include old warships and submarines (not yellow, I’m afraid!)

Like… The Beatles were booked as part of the entertainment for the weekend – part of a vintage car and steam bank holiday event – the Medway Festival of Steam & Transport. We shared the bill with a range of musical acts. The weather had been terrible the day before our appearance, but Here Comes the Sun was certainly a good choice for our set list on the day!

We played a whistle stop tour of Beatles hits across our hour and a half set to a strong and enthusiastic audience – some of whom we posed with for photos after. It felt like a proper outdoor concert and the outdoor PA system was fantastic, which really helped.

And our ‘John’ and ‘Ringo’ bought a Penny Farthing between them. We’re not sure why – seemed essential at the time!

Hopefully, we’ll be back there again sometime!
