The Fabulous Laggards at Plug n Play, Reading, 25th October 2008


This was a private party - Ian Macdonald's birthday bash. A great night out, including live music from The Richard Johnston Blues Experience (see elsewhere in this blog) and The Fabulous Laggards.

TFL are usually a 4 piece, but were augmented by an extra guitarist for the night. They impressed with their high energy and tight rock sound. I liked the range of their covers, from older classics like 'River Deep, Mountain High' to more modern rock/indie.
Plug n Play is a practice space, cum recording studio, cum club in Reading. Good place for a party, even if the beer selection was limited. I think they had a decent bitter in bottles tho. My memory is somewhat hazy on some points at this distance in time, but I wanted to give a mention to this talented band.
