So last night we had our long awaited rehearsal at Enterprise Studios, which is right by Tottenham Court Road, central for everyone!
Stepping into the sweaty, dark, dingy room and hearing the dull thud of the bass from downstairs, we all came alive with pure rock-out energy!
Gabbled talk and excited laughter of our last gig, Christmas and new year was the soundtrack of our setting up. Shortly followed by our dreams and aspirations for the future of THE BENWAHS!!
After a good hour of pure talk we all stood poised for the intro of "IT'S NOT ME", our opening song, but after a few seconds of nervous glances and unusual silence, we all confessed we were scared to play in case everything had been forgotten!
"Sod it" we said, "lets just rock out and see what happens!"
And true to THE BENWAHS style we launched into the first song and totally rocked it like our lives depended on it! It was gonna be alright, our unconditional memories of build-ups, build-downs and drop-outs came flooding back like we'd played yesterday!
We managed to get through the 8 song set with hardly any mistakes!!! And with 20 minutes to go decided to play through our two closing songs, "I DON'T GIVE A..." and "I LIKE YOU" at break neck speed. This is a BENWAH tradition, to get our energies up and excitement flowing!!!
And, seeming like we'd just got there, midnight was suddenly upon us! We packed up, talking of our next rehearsal and imminent gig.
Walking to Tottenham Court Road tube it dawned on us it was the beginning of BENWAH KAZ'S, the bassists, birthday! With an impromptu HAPPY BIRTHDAY to BENWAH KAZ at the tube turnstiles, we all said our goodbyes and made our way home.
Another brilliant rehearsal for THE BENWAHS!!!!
I really do love my job!!!!
For now,
Big love,
