Henry and Fiona's Wedding Reception, Oakley, Suffolk - 2nd June 2006
Henry, drummer of the The BBs, gets married to Fiona, bassist for the band Moderato. The evening reception, which numbers among its guests the founder of Chrysalis Records and the keyboard player from Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, is suitably musical and involves at least three bands, plus assorted interludes, in a marquee in the garden. Kicking off the proceedings are The BBs, who are followed by ceilidh band "News of the Victory", with the evening rounded out by a session with the briefly-reformed Global Village Trucking Company - who include a great 70's-style prog-rock extended-solo wig-out number in their set. Upon returning the following day to pick the gear up, it's time for lunch, which is a bonus.
