Three of us arrived in Stamford on time, but Chris was stuck in traffic and appeared about 10 minutes late, running across the road with his shirt hanging out!
The quartet was asked to sing outside the shop, as it was incredibly busy inside, so we stood on the pavement and entertained the passers-by, atracting attention and ushering people into the shop.
As a stage, the pavement was only about 2 meters wide, but as Mick said,it was very long!!
Acrosss the road, there were several offices, who opened their windows and leaned out to have a listen!
Just down from the shop were some traffic lights, so we also entertained the motorists, most of whom wound down their windows and listened until the lights changed. It was incredible, how many smiled, and even clapped before they drove away. A true Barbershop Drive-Through!!
Dominay (hope I've spelt that right) and her staff were really nice, and although they were rushed off their feet, still found time to keep us supplied with drinks and pop out every now and then to have a listen. Love especially to birthday girl Sarah, and to the lady I was dancing with on the streets of Stamford - strange things happen at a Special Blend appearance.
Thanks also to Karen, who acted as our "roadie" and photographer.
An extremely successful evening for both the Blenders and Joules. Once again, many thanks to all their staff.
