The Dawn Chorus

Yay we won! This was a nasty battle of the bands thing, and we won with an average of 63%, which as neil rightly pointed out is a 2:1. This was one of those nights when you rush around like mad to get there on time and then sit around for hours and nothing happens. We were meant to play at 8, but nobody had soundchecked a note by then. We ended up playing w/o a soundcheck at about 8.30 and it went pretty well. I thought we played well, but one of the judges disagreed as they only gave us 5 for musical timing. We got 9 for originality from one judge, but only 5 from another. I do love thes battle of the bands things. One of the judges wrote 'Zutons eat your heart out', which is just brilliant. The best thing about the night, and the thing i'm most looking forward to when we play again, was the chilli green olives, 3op a tub! brilliant.
