So.....
We survived
Incredible. The Usual Violets Chaos ensued, I was still programming drums a couple of hours before we went on. And someone mixed green M&Ms in with the blue ones... sacrilege.
But I should say a huge thanks to everyone who helped and that includes the audience... it's a reciprocal thing and you can't do it without feedback. And the atmosphere was great, both electric and friendly, just as I remember it back at the best Violets gigs.

I overheard someone saying "it was just like a real March Violets gig!". Mmmm.... That's 'cos it was... The real deal, the last of the interceptors... And who would have thought we would sound almost identical to the early (true) Violets?  Well, us, actually. I thought we sounded better.

As to the future....
The Violets never did huge numbers of gigs, and I see no reason to change that. This gig was only ever intended as a one-off reunion thing, partly to satisfy fans who wanted to see us again or for those who never got the chance. It was also one of those things you do just to make life a bit more exciting, and to see if you still can. We have been blown away by the response... and we are really glad you enjoyed it. And, yes, we are aware that a lot of people who wanted to come didn't due to various reasons, but that is always the way. Maybe we should have given more warning and had tickets on sale for more than 5 weeks.
Anyway, we had a think and a talk and another think and agreed that we would be up for doing a very limited number of special gigs before we die. And that's only if you want them. So that is the real question.... Let us know what you think.

Warmest regards
