The Life and Times of The District Club
Starring
Mike Davies : Web Journalist , Co - founder , Sound Engineer , Musician, District DJ , Guinness critic, first to arrive and last to leave. Tantrum thrower in chief.
Nicky Elsmore : Organiser, band booker, co-founder, apparently the brains of the operation. Has an aversion to getting his round in.
Co - Starring:
Gaynor Price: The public face of the organisation. Mysterious temptress. Likes to fall down stairs on a regular basis and gives up smoking every week. Doesn't like kissing with tongues.
Dai Wells : The technically challenged relief DJ. The UK's number one Dr Who fan and plays the drums like he's building a shed. Dances like he's soiled himself (which he quite possibly has).
Daemon: Apprentice soundman and Dai Wells's generously hirsute rival for the control of the decks. Likely to play the most obscure tracks imaginable over the PA which thankfully keeps Dai off the dancefloor.
Before going into print this week I decided to take a look at the review I posted of The Thornz' last gig at the club just before Xmas. Maybe it was down to hitting the sherry early but I could hardly remember a thing about the gig. The review didn't really help either it simply said something along the lines of "nice to see the Thornz back at the club" ... I can only surmise that the gig was not up to their usual high standard.
Thankfully there's no danger of me forgetting last Friday's performance, by some considerable distance this was the best gig that the band have given at The District. The new tracks have breathed new life into the band and thankfully the sound coming over the PA did full justice to the re-invigorated set list.
Stand out tracks ? I think that the two Kings of Leon songs went down particularly well and you can't go wrong with dropping some Sex Pistols in at the end of the night. All in all a cracking night and good to see so many people back at the club after our weekend off.
