Another great day. The band weren’t terribly happy with the early sets, although they were well received. By the evening it was time to really show what we could do. The evening crowd was up for

We love this festival. We had a terrible drive up to the gig, but we really settled into the set quickly. Our audience were up and dancing from song 1. We didn’t let them sit down for another ho

Arise Sir Russ! Our first outing with the new line up was voted a resounding success by all who saw us. Russ adds style, stage presence and invention to the Mighty Rooster mix and all seems set fair f

Quite a night for the Mighty Roosters. Excellent lighting, lots of cameras and a room full of our closest friends. We had a great time and it should turn into a very good DVD which we will be trying t

Tonight’s gig was quiet and tranquil - that is to say, there weren’t many punters... Well, after the Steam fayre, I guess we needed to be brought back to earth with a loud slap! You can&

Wow and wow again... This was phenominal. We played 3 sets, 1pm, 5pm and 9pm in a giant beer tent marquee, and I mean giant! First set was fairly quiet, with maybe a couple of hundred punters watch

Chalgrove Live Music Festival, Oxfordshire |
Chalgrove is a beautiful, quiet hamlet nestling in the Oxfordshire countryside - and we soon livened it up. Not quite sure whether the punters were entirely ready to be livened up, but we put on a go

This was a new venue for us, but we returned to Blandford in style. A large venue, with superb equipment, and even a resident sound man, Peter. Another great gig, and definitely the best place so fa

Really enjoyed that one. The Fureys were a thoroughly nice bunch of blokes and gave us a really nice vote of thanks. Great sound on stage (thanks Russ) meant that we felt really comfortable. Sold many

An interesting one. With John not able to make it, we went out as a four piece for the first time in 3 and a half years. Radical set re-thinks were necessary, with a few old favourites being dragged s
