MAGUIRES in Leeds Friday 12th March
Styckleback made a welcome return to Maguires on Friday night and what a good crowd we attracted with plenty new and old faces showing there appreciation. Mate and ex Styckleback Jason was depping for Andy and what a great job he did, we even gave some of our older songs an airing which went down really well. Listening to Jason belting out Alright Now was like was turning the clock back a couple of years, great stuff.
THE RAILWAY in Knottingley Saturday 13th March
This was to be our first visit to this venue and with Styckleback back to full strength with Andys return we were ready to show a new audience what we were all about and the good sized raised stage gave us plenty of room to do just that. With young and not so young singing along we won this audience round and the night just got better and better and it was good to see a some familiar faces that had made the journey from The Fox in Thorpe Willoughby. Even though we started at 9.oopm we didnt finish until 12.oo so it was another typical long Styckleback set which had customers, Landlord and Landlady giving us some great comments and asking us to return.
THE DUCK and DRAKE in Leeds Sunday 14th March
Sunday afternoon at The Duck has always been a good gig for us but this turned out to be one of those mega gigs playing to a pub that was packed to the rafters of the most enthuisiastic crowd that we have played to this year, this was just mental. We belted out song after song for the best part of 3 and a half hours and then they still wanted more. I could go on and on about this gig but perhaps some comments on The Rock of the North site sums it up from a spectators point of view.
