OUT WITH A BANG

       
Dance to the Music

                                                                                          It was blowing a gale on the last gig of the year for STREETLIFE when they played at Rochford Hundred Golf Club to celebrate the wedding of Cat and Dan. The Bride and Groom looked repectively beautiful and handsome and a great night was had by all, 

Darren, the bands bass player dropped a bombshell at the end of the evening to say that was leaving the band to pursue his first love- playing the guitar.

And so with heavy hearts the rest of STREETLIFE wished him well for Christmas and the New Year and waved him off through the  mist that had suddenly sprung up.

Fortunately for the band another bassist who has played the set a few times steppped into the breach and after a couple of rehearsals is ready to do his thang!. You can see STREETLIFE perform with their new bass player , Warren, at The  Lodge on Friday March 16th. Pics of Warren will appear on the site soon along with some revealing facts about the man himself.

IN the summertime when the weather is hot........

 
          By Buster on  12th September 2011

         Ok , so it wasn't that hot this summer.
         The band played their penultimate  August hols gig at Mikes 50th
         at the end of  July and the weather was amazing up there in Norfolk.

         Guests of the party and the STREETLIFE crew all dressed up seventies
         styley ( though there was a nod to the eighties dotted around the                            place) and everyone danced themselves dizzy in a gaudily decorated
         marquee. No Party Sevens or Martini though. (if you have to ask what
         they are then you are too young).

         The band would like to say a big thank  you  to Mike for his hospitality
         and to  wish him well in his 50th year.
         The bands  fancy dress costumes  were awe inspiring  , some of the band          actually thought Cliff was  Don Johnson from Miami Vice.

         Top outfit goes to Lyn , great dress, stunning  boots and the wig and                      glasses finished it off nicely. Close runner up was JB with his 'Ronald                   Macdonald  on amphetimines with Elvis glasses' look. Which  actually
         sounds like a  first course  in a Jamie Oliver  restaurant.

         Finally the band would also like to thank Paul for standing in on keys for                this gig and  also helping the rest of the band  give  Cliff some well                        deserved stick.
         Cheers Paul!

          Here are some pics  to give you a flavour  of the night. You can see
          some more HERE if you really want to .

       LOVING IT AT LORDS....                                                   By Buster on  26th June 2011                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Great night at The Lords in Hullbridge on Saturday night . Greenways                     School PTA summer ball and fundraiser  went off with a bang.
         
          three wise men

          Have to say that the PTA crowd know how to enjoy themselves and
          the dance floor was rarely empty.
          As you can see  above the band were all ship shape and bristol                             fashion and the brass section  didn't make a boob all night.

          Big thanks to Charlie for  the replacement speakers delivered at the                       last minute, a  nice set of subwoofers make all the difference.
         
          Next gig is at The Lodge on Friday 15th July.  Go on you know you
          want to. Entry is FREE and STREETLIFE start their   first set at  9.30. 


                                           

               

          OH THE OKEY COKEY...AGAIN                                   By  Buster  on 3rd june 2011                                                                                  In out , in out,  you shake it all about . Matt left , Paul Joined. Paul left                      and Matt joined. Having had so much fun at the last few gigs Matt has                    decided to stay. Welcome back.

     Jacket with street badge
            Although Manchester United lost  to Barcelona on Saturday  night,
            STREETLIFE  definitely scored well with the crowd at Blackmore
            Village Fayre.  After a slow start which the band attribute to the 62"
            wide screen TV showing the game in the beer tent, things quickly                            speeded   up in the second half of the evening  with plenty of
             audience participation and much dancing.
             The band would particularly like to thank  The Prince Albert public
             house for their generous supply of the bands dinner served by their
             gorgeous bar staff  and to Pink Scaffolding for the excellent stage
            and cover. Blackmore Village Fayre is a brilliant  event and the band
            hope that you ask them back next time .

Oh the okey cokey    

       By Buster on 12th May 2011                               

           In out ,in out you shake it all about  .
           After  getting all excited about  Paul joining the band it has come
           to my attention that he has decided to leave again. Sadly with all
           his other musical commitments joining STREETLIFE has proven
           to be his undoing. The band are very busy this year and he just
           can't fit it all in.
           There  are of course some members of the band who believe that
           he resigned after finding out that he would have to stay until the end
           of every gig and help pack away the PA  :)
           Matt  is still on the case  so you can see the band in all their glory
           at The Blackmore Village Fayre on The Green on the evening of the
           28th May  DETAILS HERE . This is a lovely place with some proper
           ale houses and hot food . As a bonus you get to see the wonderful
           STREETLIFE in action. Come on down and join in the fun.
