The Late Gig
THE LATE GIG PART 1. A FEW WORDS IN THE NIGHT Steff and Eric were coming back in the car from a gig late one night, up the A1 from Birmingham, with Ian Dury chirping through Reasons To Be Cheerful on the tape. Whoever had gone on first (Eric) got to have a few pints. Whoever closed the show therefore had to stay sober and did the driving. Tough luck Steff. It was September 98 and they had already talked through how Steff’s commitments to the family business would mean less trips to away gigs and how Eric’s full week’s teaching AND the gigs still wouldn’t pay for the holiday that the family so desperately needed. Steff moaned about how expensive the Motorway Services were getting and how even stopping for a coffee seemed to put hours on the journey anyway.
