Back in the late 80's...
...I was part of the Dinnington *rock* scene (we had two venues! And the Dogs D'amour played at one of them!) with my band The Eternal, and myself and my lead guitar player (Dean) were invited to a party at our good bud Johns house. It started off ok with a few beers, but then Dean and myself 'rediscovered' the bottle of JD we'd had stashed. At some point during the night I liberated a half bottle of vodka, and found some wine....Things I am reliably informed of: The hour or so I spent talking to Jane who I was madly in love with at that time, only I was apparently suggesting very strongly that she and Dean get together, John and his (soon to be wife, whos name I forget) talking me out of drinking the 6 months old bottle of cold tea JD 'display model' that was in Johns bedroom, and then...apparently, biting Johns lady friend on the arm.

Oy. And indeed, Vey.

At some point, some kindly soul dragged my ragged body onto the couch, covered me with a blanket and left me to sleep it off, only for me to wake up 3 hours later, wake up Dean for company, and then clean up the house and figure out New Model Armys 51st state on the guitar that was hanging around :-)

Waking up still drunk is ace!

It could have been worse, I suppose.

Damn, though...Jane...you were lovely...

Castle Dinnington
The Squirrel! Played there and the Lyric Hall many times with my dodgy rock band around this time too. I remember dancing on stage with giant papier-mache heads on during a friend's set. Oh the shame!

Which particular dodgy...
...band were you with? I was the singer/rhythm guitar in The Eternal. We did a fair few gigs at the Squirrel and the Lyric. One night I even yelled down the mic 'scream for me Dinnington' :-)
