On stage at exactly 19.30 Zombies, then Can't Decide, then can't remember. The gradually enlarging crowd enthusiastically applauded each song. I could sense their shock and awe at the joy of a support group worth supporting. I guess 200 saw the beginning, up to 300 by the end. Guri's hair was being blown about all over the place by some industrial fan thing to her right; I wouldn't be surprised if the poor girl woke up with a stiff neck. Kate must've been on a sponsored smile, and if so surely raised a fortune for the seamens mission. Jenny had a black satin catsuit thing on, with an oversized hoodie, making her look like some kind of grim reaper of a Santa for the bad kids in town. As for Hege, her drumming gets nothing but top marks. Her over long clickety click sticks intro (for 'Photograph?) made me smile. Instead of the regular 4 or so I'm sure that I counted upwards of 16. Maybe. I think it was this song that had an overly long pause/false ending; a very good still life painting opportunity. Though I never saw anyone whip their easel out. Off stage exactly 30 minutes later at 20.00 On with the Damned, and jolly good they were too. All the P's got up on stage towards the end for Capt. Sensibles Jet Boy Jet Girl song, to do the 'oo oo oo oo,he gives me head', backing vocals with Dave Vanian. Amusing to see the girls subconciously line up behind the mic in their regular formation of Jenny front and centre, Guri stage left, Kate right, with Hege taking up the rear. Dave was besotted. I have been to this venue 3/4 times, and never knew about the upstairs bar and bogs! Nice comfy leather seats (in the bar), although the view is somewhat restricted. But I could see the P's as they watched and danced to the Damned.(the band that plays together stays together) Even though Hege done some air drumming, it's clearly Kannibal who loves the Damned more. She never turned away or stood still. Am I weird?
