25. JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH / REGGAE MEDLEY

From the two gigs, both ‘See the Lights’ and ‘Big Sleep’ received a great response. It has been a while since the band played these songs along with the epic ‘Real Life’ in all its speaker shattering glory.

The band also probably set a record for the longest ever version of ‘Ghostdancing’ in Seidenroth with a girl-vs-the boys duel on ‘Gloria’. An unexpected version of ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ concluded a wonderful evening.

These days, interviews and press coverage are quite normal for the band, though it’s always thrilling to see newspaper articles – especially when you make the front page – in full colour!

As always, the band would like to thank the venues for their amazing hospitality, catering and endless supply of tasty beverages - and to our agent Tony, for not only booking the gigs, but living up to his reputation of sourcing great accommodation. (Embarrassingly, Simon thought his suite had no running water, though it turned out he was too drunk (or stupid) to operate the taps!).

Next up is Butlins, Minehead where they will be performing with the original legendary icons – Sash, 911 and Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills.

Sample Minds take to the Centre Stage at 11:30pm.
