| Primrose 2017 |
Since our services were no longer required at the official Carnival, our contribution to the activities in Leeds [and beyond] have been a series of adventures.

| Lionel Nostalgia at Notting Hill 2013 |

| RowenaGarvinAnne-MarieMe 2013 |
The first year [2011] it was rather short notice, so we played the Malt Shovel in Leeds where Georgia and Lizzie then worked. I love playing in pubs, well we all love playing in pubs. Not just the booze, but the lack of pressure, the intimate relationship you can develop with the audience; the band gets to see each other socially, and it strengthens our relationships. Just all good. Pubs are good.

Second year [2012] Sophie and I did London, marching with Nostalgia. The first day we had to be Greeks. Then Sophie [wisely] left. Second day, exhausted beyond belief.
 |
| Savile Park 2013 |
Third year [2013] Annette asked us to play in Savile Park for her as she waited to join her troupe. So we kept it all really quiet, then we popped up. It was great. however I had already agreed to play Notting Hill again on the Sunday, this time with Rowena
[who also only ever played it once!]
We were grateful to Annette for pushing us in this direction, so . . .

Fourth year [2014] we popped up again. This time it was pouring, but then we got filmed for the official video. Lol.
 |
| Carnival Village 2015 |
By the fifth year [2015] we were beginning to feel a bit stressed about all this popping up, and then Hilary found us [through Ash] and put us on at Carnival Village. We met owner Peter, and played Sunday and Monday, and as this was an official venue we were able to invite East Steel and Sparrows to join us again.

| Carnival Village 2016 |
For the sixth year [2016] we played at Carnival Village again, and again including the other bands, although it must be said that Sparrows were short on the ground [well the under-18s were non-existent].
This year [2017] on Sunday we played for George and Hilary's Vinyl Night at the Primrose. We were me, Vicky, Debs, Charlotte, Gary, Sophie, Wanda, Natalie, Bex [unexpected nice surprise!]. We were able to leave the pans overnight, and the Primrose is en route for Chapeltown for the following day, so,
What are we having? Cheers! Now follows some band bonding.
We also played on Chapeltown Road on Monday, only able once again to bring Foxwood. But that is for the next blog.
