Night has fallen. The first jokes about being dragged out into the forest and murdered start going around the minibus. But no, a building appears out of nowhere, and we troop in to find about thirty people sitting at long benches lined up on either side of a large hall. The place starts to fill up with people. The band seem to be soundchecking.
People seem to be dancing.
Turns out this band don't soundcheck - the gig has started. It now becomes clear they're going to do a set, then I'll play for twenty minutes, then the Subs, then Brutus will go on again. Well, you just have to go with the flow. Simon comes up to me as I watch the band go through their first few songs and start to get myself psyched up for my performance. It's the Brutus set list, comprising 65 songs.
