55BC  Julius Caesar invaded Britain ... can't help wonder if he had second thoughts

There were a lot good times being had in a tent at the back of the Worlingworth Swan last night.  Friendly Misunderstood Rabbits (who seemed to have suddenly grown up since MSM) had a depping drummer but still gave the high energy (11.2 on a Marshall) performance you'd expect from young Turks whilst acknowledging their antecedents with a couple of Hendrix tunes, and even synchronised behind the neck guitar playing ... or maybe they're just big Joe Brown fans.

The O's came on to the theme from the Big Country, or possibly the Magnificent Seven or even Appalachian Spring (we can never sort them out) and two smoke machines.  Though this looked great it did slow the rush of people entering the tent as they couldn't see where they were going:)  The O's have got even tighter and the micro Eddie Cochrane set went particularly well (maybe add Three Steps to Heaven fellas?) and as the evening progressed the struttings (and occasional falling overs) at the front of the stage got more and more charged.  Like they say guaranteed entertainment.

... and oh yes, the lady in red did get to hear I Predict a Riot.
