<p>Big thanks to Russell Chaney for stepping on vocals in the first half to help out. It was good to try some new material from Thin Lizzy, Bob Marley, and Tom Petty as well as Lou Reed's 'Sweet Jane'<br>We were all cream crackered at the end of the night.</p>The J45stag:thej45sband.com,2005:Post/70804882022-10-13T13:08:22+01:002022-10-15T10:33:41+01:00Sat 15th October - WESC Woking<p>The A bar, a live music venue, a social club, and a damn good boozer to boot – what more could you want from your music venues, hey?!

<p><span style="color:#8e44ad;"><strong>Review from the venue manager below</strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong>'Banging' </strong>The J45s on Saturday 20 August 2022 </em></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffcc;"><em>Great band, great night. Versatile group offering a variety ranging from John Lee Hooker and Wild Cherry to The Stones and Marvin Gaye. And The J45s' take on some classics filled the dance floor. Great quality and great value for money....they didn't seem to want to stop. </em></span></p>

<p>The crowd were a great range of young and old, welcoming, and characterful with some uttering the magic words </p>
<p><em>"I want to buy you a drink!” </em></p>
<p>Bonus there was a <span style="color:#3498db;">Tip Bucket</span> for the band which accumulated generous donations </p>
<p>Apparently, the pub wants us back so looking forward to the next one!</p>

Even the mixing desk was burning hot to the touch. </p>
<p>To quote John our drummer ‘I’m scunnered, with a’ this hot weather!’ </p>
<p>Adequate breaks and keeping hydrated were the key albeit The J45s were slowly turning into the ‘Baked 45s’. </p>
<p>We all drank a lot of water, however for me, the ice-cold draught Moretti was a welcomed refreshment. </p>
<p>Thanks to the locals who offered to buy the band refreshments and it was great catching up with some old friends.</p>

<p>Good to see the Orange amp worked fine after spending months in a rusty old van.</p>

<p>After the recording session there was hot curry washed down few Polish beers and a good laugh albeit loft space is on the small side. The awkward nooks and crannies under the eaves were used to house seated equipment. Just like the old days </p>
<p>Here is one of the tracks we recorded called ‘<span style="color:#ffffcc;"><em><strong>Kansas City Southern</strong></em></span>’. This track we used to open our live shows. Our next gig is on Saturday 5th June in Woking.</p>
