After something of a hiatus (including Covid), Hoaxwind have been performing fairly regularly again and I have been reasonably regular in going to see them but completely hopeless in noting those concerts here. I will try to do better.
The Oak is not a great pub for music due to its "U" shape (with the band playing at the top end of the right arm of the "U") and is sometimes not a great pub for a pub with a very limited choice of beers. This night I was drinking Guinness because there were no cask bitters available.
The right arm of the "U" was full, as usual, so I was standing in the base of it, as usual. The view of the band is not great there and the sound quality is not great either but there is space to stand without being jostled and somewhere to put your drink so most of the people that I knew were in that area. And there were quite a few people that I knew out that night.
Hoaxwind have changed personnel a few times over the years, and a two of the originals were there watching, but their sound and set has not changed that much and we got a series of great songs (mostly) from the late '70s. Obvious highlights included Spirit of the Age and Hassan I Sahba.
It is good to see Hoaxwind back performing regularly and I look forward to seeing them again soon.
