[Slowhand] Chiddingfold

[Michael Sawin]

Eric sat in tonight with Gary Brookers' Band 'No Stiletto Shoes' (which included Andy F-L, Dave Bronze & Frank Mead) at the Ex-Service Men's Club in the sleepy little village of Chiddingfold. About 250 people saw him play for just over an hour on a varied and typical 'Shoes' set. Sadly, this will be the last time he plays there as the hall will be demolished next Summer for a new housing development.
He's sat in with this band at this venue many a time unannounced over the years-anyone ever see the famous DVD of this from '89 when he was in top form?

The tracks EC played on were:

Santa Claus is Back In Town
Shotgun
Get Up (Stand up For Your Rights)
Route 66
Gin House
Willie & The Hand Jive (EC vcls)
Old Black Joe
High School Hop
Bright Lights Big City
Blueberry Hill
Lucille
You Can't Judge A Book
Good Night Irene

Eric was in a very subdued mood (he normally sings a lot more) and his solos weren't over imaginative. His wife was with him, standing side-stage but in the audience Pattie was there as well, amongst many well heeled locals.
