STRAIGHTEN OUT - 2011 TOUR

[mantheylovetohate]

Went to the Star in Guildford last night with the missus. Didn't want to miss the opportunity to hear those songs in the back room of this pub where The Stranglers first gigged back in 1974. There's even a plaque marking the event on the wall which was a nice touch. Sadly, due to non-existent promotion by the venue and proximity to Christmas, the turnout was very poor (9 people!), probably the same sized crowd that the Stranglers pulled 37 years ago. Despite that, the band played their full 105 minutes and gave it their all. Apparently it's the smallest crowd they've played to and they made quite a loss on the gig...

Shame about the poor turn out

Really feel for guys when that happens.

Maybe a better model would be like when they played Bathgate with Cash From Chaos, as the local band, who promoted and ensured it was a sell out.
Henry Clunie enjoyed himself

The Rezillos played there the other night

and The Anti Nowhere League are next up.

Then Charlie H and the boys
