Boozey Bob and Mother Dearest....hmmm!

ok I'm going to let this video open this blog!!!!



Well although we were without our Bex on recorder for this, you can see the energy Sprigs' are generating can't you? It's been a wickwicky (gyrates hand like in a record scratching motion in the air..very 80s but you get the drift)wicked few weeks and I think the new band with only a few gigs into this latest morph have every reason to be very very proud!!! gig requests are coming through nicely , a cd in the planning with the wonderful Josh Elliot from the Dolmen recording and producing, new website a musical project in the offing too phew....Bloody work is getting in the way....in fact I've changed department.... going back to an office it will give me more time off with family and more time for the band.....On a personal note i am very likely to be involved in another radio project too ..but more about that later probably next blog....

So what have I have been doing since the last blog? gigging!!!! working sleeping (sometimes) certainly eating ....but i have also started training...oh yes indeedy need to shed a few pounds ....losing my boots off the top of my van........hey it can happen to anyone!!!!

but enough of this drivel ..you want to know the nitty gritty of what Mother Dearest has been upto don't you? well I can tell you she hasn't failed to dissappoint...we've tried to introduce her to a more pagan way of life....well she has taken to that like a duck to water ....except water is the only liquid that is safe in MD's hands ....like a true Pagan she drinks like fish....she will deny it of course..but Rie our band manager will testify that MD will sink a bottle in the time it takes to say an Awen!!!! it's costing me double the amount of petrol though...well I feel compelled to go back to where we take her the next day to apologise ....as it is I'm shy to show my face in Tesco after she anounced to the store in a loud voice "I'm so tired I've been screwing all day" well she had ...but it was a flatpack nothing to do with a six pack!!!!.

Of course she'll maintain her recent tumbles to the ground...and there have been several are not alcohol induced.....the first of which was an unfortunate chair that gave way under her at Basingstoke gig ...but the second was in her front room whilst on her laptop.. surfing...literally ...she fell off the laptop onto the floor....I kid you not!!!.....I'm considering a Mother Dearest Fan club page on Facebook a bit like Mark Vine's Boozey Bob one...

In fact she is coming with us to The Dolmen Grove Yule Ball..perfect!!!!! Boozey Bob will be there!!!!now there's a thought

For now I'm going to leave you with Dance yourself Dizzy...no not the Nolans!!! sprigs of course
