Friday 27th April
On behalf of Air In G
 |
| Mission Improbable |
Friday night saw a welcome
return to Laverton in Gloucestershire on behalf of Air In G. We last toured
here about five years ago, on our very first season. It is a very picturesque
(aka posh) village, nestled in the lush countryside near Broadway and full of
warm Cotswold stone cottages.
It was also full of water on Friday as the rain
was lashing down. This made for a very awkward get-in, as there was quite a
long path and plenty of opportunity to get soaked – which we duly did. The welcome
was warm, however, with a delicious tea served by Bob and his wife.
The Village Hall was much as
we remembered: lovely stone building with an interior reminiscent of a manor
house hall. There was a new stage in place - on our last visit we remember a
more rickety affair - and just enough room to mount our lights in the
fireplace! Other hazards included light switches and general power on the same
board; press the wrong switch and you turn off the show!!

The show was Mission
Improbable and it went down well with the Laverton locals. They were a very
friendly audience, although those on the front row were invisible – we saw
right through them! During the interval Neil met one very well spoken gentleman
who said 'we came to see you last time and I have brought some friends along
tonight and if the first half is anything to go by, they are going to have a
wonderful evening’. Neil also found a kindred spirit, a fellow builder in the
audience, who specialised in solar panels. Not much use on Friday mind!
We also had a whole table of
women to our left, who seemed to enjoy the show and who certainly enjoyed being
serenaded by the Dude Neil.
The evening ending with a wet
get-out, just to remind us that life on the road is all glamour. By the time we
had finished it felt more like Farmers Weekly than Hello Magazine!
The Opera Dudes New CD is now out and ready for sale!!
