Band: Plan A Venue: Changes One, South Shields, UK Date: 5 April 2001
On a cold and damp South Shields afternoon, four young men from the South
of England had a plan! This was a good plan - their best plan yet - and
they called it Plan A.
They were here to spread the Plan A word to anyone who wanted to hear it,
at a free instore gig at the ShoeBox, that is Changes One.
They arrived rosie faced from the pub at about 3.45 ish and tried their
hardest to "blow the bloody doors off" the shop and wake up any sleeping
dogs (or old grannies) that may have been "Out for The Count", with their
own immutable brand of high energy punk rock 'n' roll.
The small but enthusiastic crowd seemed to love this half-hour of fun and
frolics and getting up close and personal with the band, as much as the
band seemed to enjoy it themselves.
There were a few casualties to the merriment, 30 CD's and a SG5 mug
crashed helplessly to the floor, but despite all, everyone had an
excellent afternoon.
"Plan A" has a six-track CD arriving in the shops in May.
Also, the "Plan A" instore gig was recorded live for a debut release on
the new Shoebox label, this will be a debut release for both the band and
Changes One.
