With Xmas just around the corner and dreaded economic slowdown rarely out of the media it wasn't altogether a surprise that punters were a bit thin on the ground last week.

I've seen CP on many occasions over the years and through many line-up changes, but this performance was undoubtedly out of the best I've witnessed. The band looked like they were enjoying every moment on stage and for once we managed to deliver a sound out front and on stage that did justice to the Pride experience. A special mention must go to their new drummer who was only playing his second gig with the band and seems to have fitted right in ( as does their newish bass player).

A superb and reinvigorated performance by The Pride.

Regrettably Friday night also brought with it a medical emergency which occurred in the foyer on top of the stairs to a very close friend of all the Friday night organisers. Our eternal thanks must go to Lynfa for her actions in preventing a potential fatality. Thank God we had a medical professional in the audience who knew CPR and mouth to mouth.
