Progeny

[Ash]

Friday 7th May 7.00-11.00pm
'The 2 J's', better known as John Mitchell and John Beck perforoming a variety of songs from their illustrious careers with It Bites, Kino and perhaps a few surprises.

My Ask Frost* question is WTF?

[Pedro]

I've seen them do this before in a pub near Rotherham with Moo on bass.
Jolly good with a bit of Bowie and Gabriel included.

A bit of mis-naming really, '2Js' has been done. 'The Mitchell & Beck Sound' might be available.

[Jem]

Me and Mitch were asked to do it, but I had to politely decline as myne wyfe will be in the last 2 weeks of her pregnancy. I'm not going to do that mad scary dash back home from a gig like I did at Summer's End that year when she wouldn't pick up the phone apres gig. She was due then as well. :shock:

Johnny and Johnny actually did this acoustic-y thing first. I nicked the idea of them and, er, massaged it a bit.  :lol:

[Nellie]

I'm going to this and, of course, Tinyfish on the Saturday. I have already booked my hotel.

You mean you can't do Progeny because of an imminent addition to your progeny?

Blimey mate. You'll lose count of them soon. And then you'll start losing them. Or leaving odd ones behind on school runs.....

[Jem]

Or leaving odd ones behind on school runs.....

That could never possibly happen... :lol:

[Pedro]

Jem won't lose track of them...the little cute one will be down at the front singing and if any of the others stop playing his highly sensitive ears will detect it.

[gr8gonzo]

What's that, four? Can we count on you to have at least one family photo staged to look like the cover of Queen II?

[catherine]

I think Jem and Mrs G are aiming to rival The Osmonds...

[Ash]

Blimey another one?!?  When do you find the time??  :lol:

I wasn't aware that they had done these Two J's first.  I was being a bit "it's not Jem - it's not Two J's" but I'll let them off  

[Pedro]

In my mind it's not really 2Js unless fun is had with the music. Mitchell & Beck do gorgeous reworkings of the songs but don't expect any Bolivian Grunge Polkas.

[Ash]

I won't be there anyway.

[DueyC]

I won't be there anyway.

Neither will I, sadly.
I saw the first one at the Whitchurch Festival in 2003, and it was a great little show, but somehow I've missed all the others since  

[Mouse]

I would love to see Tinyfish gig in a pub, but again, my location foils my plans yet again. *Shakes fist*

Also, Tinyfish + drink = embarrassment and a ruined camera in my experience.
