CLOCKWORKMARGARET AT THE BARFLY
I know it's only the second gig,but it never went as planed,they were verry strict on the door about age,so most of their mates being of the average age of 17,never got in,being a bigger club than the Zanzibar,made it look empty,but what can you do?the main band were The Hours,and they are a great band,so they must have been disapointed with the turnout.Good news is,i know a guy who is a reporter for the Liverpool Echo(he's writing a book about the club Eric's,i got interviewed coz i got arrested on the last night...long story!)and he's going to review the band.

Mad Mick Returns
Young Michael,had been away on holiday for a few weeks(didn't half miss him)so I was having a gab with the lads when he walks over to Jay McCullough and says "alrite,I've got ye a little something from my holls" and he dangles a Canada key ring,but Jay says,"nar,your all rite"I started laughing at this point when I saw Micks face drop,(it must have been bad for him)Jay says"nar ye might as well give it to someone who appreciates it lad,I'd just throw it away"now......I'm at the stage where I need oxygen,I'm laughing so much,Mick says "you ungraitfull bastard,I brought this all the way from Canada and you don't want it"I.........Had to walk away I couldn't take any more,I was getting pains in my sides with laughing,it was so funny,later on,I saw Allan,and told him the story,but he had a funny look on his face,when I finished telling him about the key ring,he reached into his cab,produced the same key ring,dangled it infront of me and said "was it anything like this?" which made the whole story ten times funnier,sending me into a fit of laughter again!

The band are now playing with a temp drummer,Luke(lead guitar) was the original drummer,(the lead guitarist left because he did'nt like the music direction that ClockworkMargaret was going) but Luke knew a guy who plays drums,so took on the lead guitar role as well as adding his boss dance routine to the band,at the gig,Luke lost his plec,so played with his fingers till they bled...i heard blood was running down his arm........God loves a trie'r....LOL

CLOCKWORKMARGARET THE CONCERT
The bands first gig went off great,they got a brilliant review...from chromewaves..(http://www.chromewaves.net/index.php?itemid=2328)
ClockworkmargaretSometimes something shows up in your inbox (or in this case, your MySpace friends requests) that out of the blue, just beguiles you. And by "you", I mean me. It's probably far too early to judge Liverpool's Clockworkmargaret - after all, they look barely out of their teens (if even that old), haven't had even a half dozen rehearsals and I think they played their first-ever gig last night. Yet they have some recorded output available on their MySpace and the one song - a cover of my possibly my favourite Elliott Smith song - is just wonderful. The sweetness of the Catherine's voice combined with her Scouse accent suits the song's delicate melody perfectly, imbueing the song with youthful innocence rather than Smith's weariness. And when Jini's harmonies come in at the very end, it's sublime. Barely two minutes long and yet it somehow breaks my heart. The original on offer is not surprisingly a good deal rougher, but still displays a lot of potential. As I said, it's probably still waaaaay too early to place bets but I'm definitely keen to hear what they do next.MP3: Clockworkmargaret - "Say Yes"MP3: Clockworkmargaret - "She"np - Early Day Miners / Offshore
