Thursday 13th August 2009. Ipswich.


Keef ermmm I mean Scruff




Pete giving it some




Monk




Me n the Pete Dee sig moved too fast for the camera ha ha


Suspect devices Johnny, had to play a bit of guitar.


Suspect Device minus Andy, Pete loved us and said some really nice stuff to me after the show, we love Pete!

Busy day today, we loaded the backline and PA system at Universal and took it over to the Regent, unfortunately the venue had a daytime hire which meant we couldn’t get in till 17:15. With sound check at 1900 it was gonna be tight.
Sound check over ran and we couldn’t find Mel so I played bass although couldn’t remember any songs except Steamroller, we ended up with doors opening at 20:00.
First band dangers close (who also played rebellion) played a blinding set, and then Suspect Device played although we missed Andy who was sunning himself in Turkey, I had to work much harder than usual on guitar and Jonny played on some songs which helped a lot.
Then about 22:00 the Adicts took to the stage, the atmosphere was great, I think people felt a bit special seeing the band in a small intimate venue. As always the band gave it 100%, it didn’t matter the small venue they went for it which you have to admire.
Great gig review in the evening Star.

  1. Thanks again to you & Pete for ensuring we got in after travelling down from Manchester - it was knackering but WELL worth it.
    We are convinced we have seen your band before in the dim & distant past too - you were great.

    Best Wishes
