March is the busiest month of our year, as you can imagine, with so many people wanting to celebrate St Patrick's Day and we absolutely love the variety of venues and audiences that it brings with it
We always hit the ground running when the first weekend of March comes around and this year has been no exception. Our gig at The Royal Oak in Westwood on Friday night was a brilliant return to a wonderful pub where the landlord, David, and his wonderful team are so enthusiastic about Irish music and give a wonderfully warm welcome to people as they come through the doors.
The audience were a mixture of people who had heard of Kellys Heroes and never seen us play live plus faces who have been following the band since the late 80's- and they're still taking ownership of that dance floor like it was yesterday
As is the norm these days there were many mobile phones out during the night, recording favourite songs and tunes as we powered through some fast and furious old favourites alongside some of our more recent additions to the sets.
During one of these sets of tunes, Tony left the stage to do a quick check on the sound and not wanting to get in the way of one fella who was recording at the time, he dipped underneath the camera. When he came back towards the stage, the guy had lowered the level of his phone to get a better angled shot of the band so Tony tried to be considerate and took to his hands and knees to get past- what Tony didn't know (but we could see) is that the guy obviously found it as funny as we did and so took some footage of him crawling on the floor
If that video ever sees the light of day I'd just like to point out that he wasn't drunk at the time- honest!
Thank you to Nick Morland for taking charge of the camera for us during the second set- cheers Nick!
