Sunday,Jan 5 2003,Coach & Horse`s.....Daventry Over the xmas holiday Phil had persueded Paul to dip his toe in the water and have a practice with us. Phil did`nt want to upset his new band mate`s and blatantly steal Paul so he was very careful about how he approached things. We arranged a Sunday evening meeting in the Coach (deja vu) Immediatly we hit it off.Paul had vast experience and was very keen. Like Phil,he was fed up with the other band and wanted to try us out. The vibe was back. Also we heard about a gig at the Maltster`s at the end of January from our stand in drummer Jason. We all agreed it would be something to aim for...provided our first rehearsal worked out ok
Wed 8th Jan 2003,Rehearsal,Daventry Day Center The first rehearsal was eagerly anticipated by all The night was a success.Paul fitted in straight away...his playing was awesome and he picked up the songs instantly....all nite me,Kev and Phil were smiling Why didn`t we know this guy 2 and a half years ago years ago? Paul knew he had to join.It was 10 times better than his old band.The sound was right and we suited each other.The gods smiled down on us a second time
Mad Dog McHat on the job The next day phil booked the gig and we were back on the road A drummer,new enthusisum,new outlook and no friction...it was a breath of fresh air. Paul and Phil received some stick from their old band mates,but the hassle was worth it.Catch 23 was a force to be reckoned with again and nothing was gonna stand in our way More rehearing followed,including a Sunday,gearing up for the gig
	Dawson...April 2004...What you looking at??? Here`s where the new bit starts. Gotta do some research and try to remember what happened from this point until now. Lacking in notes and with even less brain cells intact than this time last year. I`ll see what i can do....Watch this space...arse
Complete Gig History 2003 With Paul onboard we were soon firing on all cylinders and went on to play more gig`s this year than we did during our first 2 years together. Not bad considering we had nearly split up at the end of 2002. My records are not 100% for this year at the min due to computer crashes and brain damage. There was a gig at Weedon village hall with our old friend Jason,on drums,in June/July and the famous August bank holiday gig on a 40 footer at the Cross Tree Inn MALTSTER`S,Weedon,Jan 25 1/38-WHEATSHEAF,Crick,31 Jan 2/39-PEPPERMILL,Daventry,15 Feb 3/40-FLEUR de LEYS,Woodford Halse,21 Feb 4/41-WHEATSHEAF,Braunston,8 Mar 5/42-MALTSTER`S,Weedon,22 Mar 6/43-COBBLER`S,Northampton,6 Apr 7/44-PEPPERMILL,Daventry,12 Apr 8/45-FLEUR-DE-LEYS,Woodford Halse,26 Apr 9/46-PEPPERMILL,Daventry,17 May 10/47-WHEATSHEAF,Braunston,31 May 11/48-MALTSTER`s,Weedon,14 June 12/49-WILLIAM WEB ELLIS,Rugby,21 June 13/50-PUNCH & JUDY,Northampton,22 June 14/51-THE GAY BARN,Eydon,28 June 15/52-FRIDAY`S,Daventry...Thurs 10th July 16/53-HOLLY BUSH,Rugby...Fri 18th July 17/54-CROSS TREE INN,Byfield...Sun 27th July 18/55-PEPPERMILL,Daventry...Sat 9th Aug 19/56-WHEATSHEAF,Braunston...Sat 30th Aug 20/57-MALTSTER`S,Weedon...Sat 6th Sept 21/58-COACH & HORSES,Daventry...Thurs 25th Sept 22/59-ELDER STUBBS,Daventry...Sat 27th Sept 23/60-PUNCH & JUDY,Northampton...Sun 5th Oct 24/61-FLEUR de LEYS,Woodford...Sat 11th Oct 25/62-PEPPERMILL,Daventry...Sat 25th Oct 26/63-CROSS TREE INN,Byfield...Fri 31st Oct 27/64-MALTSTER`S,WEEDON...Sat 1st Nov 28/65-WHEATSHEAF,Braunston...Sat 8th Nov 29/66-GREAVES CLUB,Bishops Itchington...Fri 14 Nov 30/67-THOMAS a Beckett...Sat 6th Dec 31/68-PUNCH & JUDY,Northampton...Sun 7th Dec 32/69-THE PLUME,Weedon..Fri 12th Dec 33/70-MALTSTER`S,Weedon...Sat 20th Dec
