Two become five

don’t know how it happened ,glad it did ……On Friday Spriggan Mist were a Duo...Wifey and I ....by Sunday night we were a 5 piece!!!!!!
I don't know the individuals well enough so blog names are out of the question at this time but they will come. We were approached by a guitarist/violinist singer who wanted to explore maybe joining Spriggan Mist having been on our Myspace so we met with him and the guy can play and we 've agreed that the band should expand...then he tells us that his wife often accompanied him on flute and that she could be another option to the Spriggan Mist sound. So on Sunday after consideration we agreed that yeah a flute would be really cool too (I hope we don't look like ABBA ....you know two couples....I am not wearing flares or growing a full beard and I'm certainly not singing back to back). Then we decided that we could really do with a drummer /percussionist......So at Rockstar's drum lesson I asked his teacher if he knew anyone and he said he'd do it .......so 5 it is .....

The Spriggan Mist sound will change a little I should imagine, as we now have two songwriters and we are probably going to do a few covers too.I'm quite excited by all these changes and although in it's infancy early signs are that this could be good ...really good.

Other news.... The Studio's base is done we are expecting the erection in 7 to 10 days (steady )then sound proofing etc etc...still loads to do and loads to pay out but it will be worth it. there will be an opening party for this I'm sure for the select few at Spriggan Towers.

So pencil in the last weekend in may for the unveiling of the band . Exact date,time and venue not known but we are going to hire a hall for friends and family to come along and be guinea pigs for our set. we'll have a few special guests there too which will be cool ...it will be billed as an indoor festival ,so turn up with your tinnies spread out a mat or pull up a chair and have a chill. We will try and dissuade Mother Dearest from selling dodgy mushrooms and also try and stop her from moshing at the front ....although this may occur if you lot keep supplying her with the Newky Brown.

You see she has gone all militant at her resi home and is leading a Grannies revolt against the housing association that runs the place. They had a secret campaign meeting last night .....you can see it now can't you.....

In a dark corridor late at night (well 1930 hours) a granny appears swiftly manouvering her zimmer frame down the corridor.....as she reaches Mother Dearest's door she stops ...looks up and down the corridor ....she can't see that walking towards her is a housing manager, she spots her ,she leans on her zimmer whistles as if nothing is a miss stating what a lovely evening for bible reading with Ethel it was . The manager turns the corner and granny waits for the footsteps to dissapear into the night before she looks up and down the corridor again she approaches the door and knocks in a secret pattern only known to Grannies . a little hatch opens on the door...." pass word ?" a croaky voice whispers......The Granny looking up and down the corridor again leans towards the hatch and in a fisherman's friend breath whispers back " I need mothballs" ......."what " came the reply "I need mothballs" granny replied with a little more purpose...The door opens and Granny scuttles in . A face appears in the door way looks up and down the corridor and shuts the door firmly , as granny says" That was close ,I nearly got rumbled by a f**king screw!!!!"
