The Old House at Home
29th Dec 08
Determined the show must go on!
Without much hope and at short notice, I decided to search Google desperately looking for a replacement venue for the
10th / 17th of January show , when randomly up popped "The Old House at Home" in Queenborough, along with a phone number.

Without a second thought I dialled the number and found myself talking to a lovely lady called Beverley, who introduced
herself as the landlady. Do you have live music I asked, yes came the reply, "Result". On explaining our plight
with The Tudor Inn show, I couldn't believe our luck" not only had Beverley heard of Lockhart and The Throwbacks,
She knew Lockhart's Mummy, Hubby Des and many of their family and friends, instantley understanding that meant
a great night to be had by all and a full house, Beverley offered to be our host and have the show
at The Old House at Home, and save the day.
What a loverly lady, we can't wait


The Tudor Inn News flash
29th Dec 08
On phoning Mike Nichols the landlord of the"  Tudor Inn Sheerness high street"  at “9.45am today” with a view of moving our Gig date one week,  from Saturday 10th of January to Saturday 17th January to allow our "Asian flue ridden singer" an extra week to recover and rest his voice, and allow enough time to let you all know via our web site, local papers and gig guides, I was surprised to find Mike Nichols was no longer the Landlord!!   And in his place is new landlord Ian Marlow.
 After a brief chat.

According to Ian, he has no knowledge of the Throwbacks booking for Sat 10th January and says he doesn’t have the authority
to honour the booking, although he says it is in the pub diary ?
But did say he would make some phone calls to try and keep the booking for the 17th, and that he would definitely beyond
any doubt call me back later today and let me know the outcome either way!
No call from Mr Ian Marlow as yet? ( No surprise there! )

So it seems that there was no intention on the Tudor Inn's part to advise us via text, phone or e-mail of any cancellation!!

So the Throwbacks along with some of you guy’s who travel miles to our shows, would have cut the day short loaded loads of
equipment, driven a 50mile round trip, possibly in the cold and rain and certainly in the dark with a band convoy of
5 plus cars!!! Gone along to fill up the Tudor Inn with good music and a fabulous crowd of people!
Just to be told on our arrival's sorry there aint no band plying ere tonight!!. "Nice"

We would just like to thank our hosts Mike Nichols and Ian Marlow, at "The Tudor Inn Sheerness"
and to wish them all the best with a very merry and prosperous new year.               

Happy Birthday

The Hop & Vine
6th Dec 08
After a shaky behind the scenes start where the powers that be wanted to cancel the show!!, "But with some stiff negotiations and hard talking",,   The show went ahead!!. and boy was it worth it!!
There was once again another fantastic turn out from you guy's and dancers alike " superb" . not to mention Bryn's family who had traveled all the way up from Wales especially for the show!! and the small gang at the bar down from north London.
A good time made easy.
And a big thank you to our host at the Hop & Vine, Carlton. "We forgive ya"

The Eagle Rocks
4th Dec 08
What a great venue,,, For all you bands out there, Who haven't played the Eagle Tavern in Rochester yet ? Get ya demos in now.
I defy You to find a more responsive audience in a pub with such a magnificently friendly atmosphere anywhere else in Rochester!
I didn't see one glum face in what must of been over a hundred, only a crowd of delightful people haveing a good time.
And even more refreshing was looking out at you lot and seeing a range of people from about eighteen to sixty, "Brilliant"
Well, it done it for us!! we had a wicked time.
Cheer's Folks See ya all next time.
Our special thanks to our fab hosts at The Eagle Tavern - Nigel and Sandra,

Another Spectacular turn out at the Good Intent on Saturday
1st Nov 08
It was raining, windy dark and cold, in other words bloody miserable when I arrived at the GI on Saturday evening at around 6.30
I thought to myself that's it, looks like we're playing to the bar staff tonight, and wondered if it was even worth setting up!!!
But by 8.45, thanks to you lot, there was barely enough room to close the pub door - "result" what a night

Not only were you a fantastic audience, some of you can really dance ... groovy baby! Well I can only say, if Lockhart and The Throwbacks have an audience like you lot at all their shows in the future, this band are in for an amazing time,, so well done and thanks to you all for battling against the elements, we had a GAS.

24th Oct 08
We had a great gig last night at the Royal Oak, "Great Landlord ,Great Landlady, Great Audiance, Great pub", What more can a band ask for!!! "We had a blast". And I must say to the dude who danced up front for 2 hours solid, from the first note - to our last !
"Ja wanna be our Bez" ?
A special thanks to our hosts Kevin & Tina, who not only had our play area cleared & ready, also had our parking reserved.
