Throwback Tuesday

Back to a time when we were all told we had to be quiet and well behaved little foals……and we actually listened and did as we were told 😂😂😂

Don’t forget to grab your tickets for New Year’s Eve to be thoroughly entertained by the rag tag bunch of misfit disobedience that we somehow became!!!!😂😂😂

Please could whoever it was who pinched my zebra cowboy hat from last nights gig at The Angel Inn, Andover return it, we’ve been through a lot together!!!!

I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career with that zebra hat.

Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my hat go now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you…..and I will come round your house and play loud music thru your letter box at extremely anti social hours!!

Many thanks xx

One of my favourite local causes Kick_Start_FC are currently in the process of walking from Andover to Wembley to raise money…..these guys are fantastic local community advocates for sports being at the forefront of positive mental health and are raising awareness for su***de prevention.

They are a bit knackered and dead on their feet and have so far raised £1500!!!

Help Michael Cunningham raise money to support Kick Start FC

Over the last two years with the The ShowPonies - Wedding & Party Band what’s become apparent is getting out there and performing often opens up other opportunities from word of mouth or random strangers coming up to you at a gig and asking for your details to perform.

So earlier this year we played a racecourse thanks to a recommendation from another band….and then a carnival thru the same person. That was the first opportunity.

While doing the racecourse gig a lady came up and said I’m doing a festival this summer….would you please come and play….give me your details.

So, as a result…..the Showponies are playing today at a private music festival for several hundred people…..and the location…..well, you couldn’t make this up……it’s a professional horse riding and equestrian centre 😂😂😂

Funny how the universe works innit!!!!

Two big shows where you’ll find us this weekend.
Saturday night The Lights Andover as part of Headliners 24.
Then on Sunday before and after the carnival in the centre of town at Foresters Arms
