Friday 27 February - and we start by going slightly off piste with an early (20:00) visit to The Slag and Luggage in Swinegate to meet up with some reprobates that we knew in a previous existence. For the sake of a cheap laugh let's call it a Norwich Reunion. It was great to play catch-up with folk that we've not seen for about five years, and astonishing really that all those that went through the Great Cull are doing well for themselves and seem happy in their new jobs.
Sadly, I'm not the type of person that can while away endless hours in a bar, so about 21:30 we nipped off to The Roman Bath where The Mojos were playing. For those that regularly read my blogs, somebody does, you'll know that we rather like The Mojos and their brand of cover tunes. I didn't grab a set-list because they don't stick to it so it would be a waste of time me reproducing it for you. Suffice to say we had: I Want To Break Free (Queen), Summer Of '69 (Bryan Adams), Sultans Of Swing (Dire Straits), Hold The Line (Toto), I Believe In A Thing Called Love (The Darkness), Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns n' Roses), Jump (Van Halen), Livin' On A Prayer (Bon Jovi), 500 Miles (The Proclaimers), Vertigo (U2), plus a whole lot more than my brain could remember.
Musically replete we contacted our erstwhile Reunionists only to find that they hadn't actually moved on from the The Slag and Luggage. We dragged them out and the party continued further down the road in Kennedy's where we stayed until a little after two in the morning. A great night was had by all, and my head lived to regret it in the morning!
