FS were privilaged to play at the Sutton Sting Ice Hockey Awards on Saturday 5th (set up video here), reportedly a more lavish event than that thrown by the Nottingham Panthers!.
Stu deployed his new weapon of choice, the wireless mic, and immediately shot off into the crowd hopping from table to table like a bumble bee getting people to sing along. This came as a bit of a surprise to some - not least the rest of the band.
Another surprise was the hockey mask that Spanners decided to wear in an axe wielding Jason Vorhees style. Possibly not the wisest choice given the heat and humidity. Soon steam was seen to rise from the holes in the mask and it was not evident in the second set.
Star in the making, young Jack joined us on stage for a rendition of Greenday and won himself a tee shirt to help him deal with the trauma of the experience.
Not wishing to be left out, some of the 'adults' grabbed the inflatable guitars we had strategically left lying around and demonstrated how to cavort like a proper rock star. Gentlemen, we are not worthy - you rock!
Not wishing to be upstaged by the old folk, the kids grabbed the inflatable guitars and between bouts of walloping each other sensless, gave a damn good show of rock star-ness (is that a word? it is now!).
The FS lightshow was enhanced by the thunder & lightning and we were badgered into a couple of encores before the disco ended the evening.
The kids blagged some sticks from Jim and had us sign the inflatable guitars and sticks as souveniers. These will probably find their way onto Ebay and exchange hands for thousands of pounds.
