After our first gig here in October 2008 we were delighted to have been asked back by the Landlord, Chris, to play again. And... we'll be back again in October to do a shared night with Blackpool duo, and friends of ours, Penny Black.
It was an interesting two and three quarter hour drive over to Morecambe, we experienced brilliant sunshine interspersed with horrendous torrential rain but followed by the most gorgeous rainbows.

We arrived around 8:00 pm which gave us more than enough time to get our gear set up. As the pub is quite small with a very low ceiling in the bar we could only use half the Bose L1 stack wich we set up on a table to our side (its optimum position is behind with us about 7-8 feet in front). But the modular design and adaptability says a lot about the Bose L1 system - so versatile and still a great sound! The standard format at The Smugglers is 3 x 30-minute slots playing at 9:30pm, 10:30pm and 11:30pm and we were still raring to go by the finish at midnight.
Throughout the evening it was a changing audience as people did the round of bars in the area, which is pretty much what you would expect on a Saturday night anywhere - but there were those who settled in to enjoy the music for the entire night.
It was an enjoyable evening and we are looking forward to being back at The Smugglers in October.
