I lent a mate my PA for a funeral today and had to tear it down myself (my mate being a bit too horizontally challenged for helping lug heavy gear by time I got there) after work so I'm shattered. I'm even considering just staying in when there's a perfectly good pub with a real fire right across the road from her gaff!!!
You should look into some early evening dinner time sessions for us old duffers that can't hack it anymore
What's the chat with your New Years Eve gig? I quite fancy it in theory.
