Earl Soham Flying Stilton Club

Earl Soham certainly isn't somewhere I thought I'd ever play in a band, or for that matter I don't think I'd ever have a reason to go to Earl Soham at all! I used to go to scouts in Earl Soham, we weren't actually the Earl Soham scout group, we were the Brandeston (or Kettleborough, I forget) but we got kicked out of the village hall and had to move Earl Soham! Anyhew, that's not really got nowt to do with 'owt so on with the photos. My band was asked to go and play at the Flying Stilton Show in Earl Soham, it's a sort of club night for local yoofs of the Framlingham area. It hadn't run for 15 years and we were booked for the relaunch. We jumped at the chance, admittedly party due to the promise of Stilton Burgers, which didn't dissapoint. When I say 'didn't dissapoint' I mean Dom and Graham managed to clear out the supply.

I'm still figuring out my new camera so these aren't the best photos ever seen. I'm also writing this early morning after only getting back from this evening of adventure at about 2.30am!

Damn troublesome special kids

Our mates Luke, Lee, Buzz and Ste made the trip out from Ipswich to sample the evening's entertainment. You wanna know why we're all laughing? Well whilst doing his best David Bailey impression in the Sunday School rooms Luke raised the camera, went cross eyed whilst trying to find the shutter button, then unleashed the methane fury of the last week of whatever the hell he's been eating (rotting cabbage judging by the foul stench). Actually that's something of an understatement, this flatulance made Hindenburg look a slight gas related mis-hap.

Dom checked his eyesight is still intact after the gas attack

by way of punishment Andrew does lines

Graham gets mad as Andrew does crap lines

There's a large part of the evening's proceedings that aren't recorded by camera, mainly becuase it involved various wee (and not so wee) beasties that I was worried would be angered by a camera flash, and they were the kind of beasties you wouldn't like when they're angry. We oohed and ahhed at Scorpions, Taratulas and snakes. The snakes were particulary interesting, I wasn't even dissapointed when I realised their occupancy was the reason the pillowcases on the tables were trying to make a break for it. The end of the beastie exhibition was something I never though I'd see, I never thought I'd spend an evening in a baptist church in the arse end of nowhere being shown a snake's ring piece.

CAKE!! Along with stilton burgers, stilton smoothies and stilton potatoe wedges there was tons of cakes. Being a helpful and friendly sort Dom helped clear them up.

Don't be mistaken by this photo, Graham really did want some of the cake, he just didn't relish the thought of Dom spearing his tonsils with that knife!

I wasn't fast enough with my camera but Dom helped washing up

The evening ended as they always do with this band, stuffing chicken kebabs and watching the local wildlife, this time in Framlingham.
