The Smack, Whitstable
The Smack, Whitstable, 24th April 2002:
New Strings! Let There Be Rock!
My first visit for some time, and it seemed busier than last time. Other open stagers included a funk-ish duo, Mandy (of course), and a somewhat dazed and confused Malcolm Moss. I kept it fairly brief and crowd reaction was enthusiastic, though I say so myself. Free pint for original material and free percussive support from Dave Willoughby.
Set list:
- Whisky Man (Entwisle)
- Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long (Magnetic Fields)
- Dance Of The Midwich Cuckoos (extended improvised version!) (Williams)
- What’s Under The Stairs? (Williams)
Choice quotes:
Punter: “Your guitar sounds like a dead banjo, but that’s good.”
Willoughby: “Alright, Bert?”
