Unconnected
To the Rat and Ratchet in Huddersfield this evening, where MrM was playing a gig with several other musicians from the Jazz Guitar Society. An enjoyable evening in good company (sitting with one of the musician's girlfriend and her mum), and some great music, but marred a bit by a random guy who turned up with his guitar and amplifier, and proceeded to play along with the band. Wouldn't have been so bad but he seemed oblivious to the fact that his instrument was far too loud (and he obviously hadn't practised the pieces on the set list). Why on earth one of the band members didn't explain to him that it was an advertised gig until 9.00, after which he would be welcome to play, I really can't fathom. Maybe they're just too polite?
Took some photos of the band, but the pub lighting is abysmal and I'm not happy with any of them. Instead, here's a photo of two posters in the pub. I assume that grate polish has nothing to do with Frank Zappa...
