The Jack Bates Band @ The Mick Jagger Centre with
Buddy WHIITINGTON
What a night! Not only did we get to open for Buddy but we went down a storm! Usually while the support act is on most disappear into the bar until the Headline act comes on, and with someone like Buddy Whittington as the main act we did'nt expect any different. What a surprise when we found the house was full and an audience that really dug and grooved to the band! Comments like " Buddy was excellent and the support band were brilliant as well..." and " they are local! I'd go and pay to seem them anytime" were heard as people were queuing to buy our CD.
We gave them a set that got their feet moving, heads nodding and cheers abounded.. we were just getting into our stride when it was all over and Buddy took to the stage.
A night we'll not forget in a long time!
A BIG thanks to those that came and we'll see you soon!
