Maes Manor Hotel last night, guided again by Satnav Woman, who insisted on taking us the scenic route.If she'd glanced out of her satellite window, she would have realised that.it was dark on Welsh Earth, with all the picturesque wonders of the Blackwood area being lost to us. Still, it was worth the drag when we finally arrived, at least after the warm-up band had finished and Big Mac came on.

They were excellent, as always, this being invariably the case when a band is always excellent, and we all had a good time and a great dance. And then the evening ended, as it always does, and we all went home, apart from those who had danced themselves to death.
What a way to go! And it's perfect from the point of view of funeral elegies:
he absolutely loved dancing, and although it killed him, he would not have wanted it any other way. If there's a hereafter, he's probably dancing in the great function room in the sky...
And so on. Meanwhile, here on Earth, there's the Paget Rooms coming up, and something else after that, and after that and that and that...Long may we all be alive for ever and dance for all eternity to the Big Mac band.

    Oops: memory loss. Forgot about the Orpheus venue the weekend coming, and have now forgotten whether Friday or Saturday and which date. Luckily, I still have my wits about me, not sure where, and covered myself by...Oh.

These posts are copied from the Big Mac Wholly Soul Band Facebook group site. They are a record of the Big Mac gigs we attended between 2018 and March 2020 when it all came to an end. For followers of the band, I was the blinged up dancer who danced on the empty floor immediately the band struck up. Another world, another death to grieve; another life to mourn.  Dec 23 2018 Dinner and dance at the Vale Resort last night. with the Big Mac Band. I think the The cooks must all have been Big Mac fans who got so excited in anticipation of the performance that their minds weren't really on cooking the food. But then, we were all Big Mac fans, so our minds weren't really on eating it, It was probably left over from the previous dinner/dance with Big Mac, but it really didn't matter.The main course was the band and the dance, which was delicious, as always, and we all had a great time, including Mike and the band.. They are doing it all over again tonight at the Tramshed. It's
