The Gig That Wasn't
The George And Dragon, Epping - 29th May 1989

They came,
They saw,
They left.

What was to be the highlight of the Bank Holiday turned into a disastrous farce. The Epping Constabulary got wind (PARP!!) of the hideous debauchery and appalling depravity inherent at all Acolytes shows and decided to act. They stopped the show.

"We were really disappointed," said hunky singer Andy, "we had so much planned for this gig..." He drifts off into a daze thinking of what might have been. "Al and I met Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) at the pub and arranged to borrow their stage set for a nominal fee." This fee was later found to be a pint of Guinness, two lagers and a packet of peanuts. "Incorporated into this was some of our own special effects," continued Al. "We had specially imported a quarter of a ton of Belgian goat dung to be fired from cannons over the crowd during "Euroshit", five hundred stampeding Canadian Wildebeast for "Rawhide" and arranged for the R.A.F. to hurl six horses out of an aircraft for "Crazy Horses".

At this point his pint ran out and he departed for a refill and I was left wandering about the spectacle that never was. Maybe next time eh?
