Saturday 28 February - we were not out on Friday, but instead met up on Saturday evening having watched the fairly miserable performance that was the Ireland v England game in the Six Nations. Was Ronan O'Gara playing for us? Well, he did manage to miss three penalty attempts and a conversion, but he was balanced in the end by the efforts of skipper Brian O'Driscoll. Although England finally smelt the coffee about 5 minutes before the end, it was too little too late. A very disappointing match. So a little later I affixed the headphones of my p-pod to my ears and set off for The Roman Bath for an evening with The Mojos.
When I arrived, a little after 21:00, there were a few bouncers outside squaring up to bald-headed meathead who was the worse for drink and seemed to have taken exception to everyone within viewing distance. I slipped around the back, away from any aggro, and into the tightly-packed bar where The Mojos were just polishing off Genesis' Turn It On Again. What a fine song. I'm guessing that the meathead was eventually moved along because when 'A' turned up 5 minutes later he was oblivious to any trouble outside.
The John Smiths was excellent, and the band were better than I've ever heard them play before. Really tight. I've previously blogged lists of the covers they perform so I won't bore you with the details. There was a bit of funk, we're not big fans of funk generally, but it does seem to get the ladies moving which is no bad thing. Their Sweet Child O' Mine, Living On A Prayer, Layla, and Sultans Of Swing were brilliant. I really do recommend that you see this band if you get a chance.
